So my car went into the shop for paint the other day and i decided to get some new 5.0 emblems since mine were kind of old looking.I checked out EBay and found these so i ordered a set along with a "stock" set of emblems.Now i must decide on what will look better on a Twilight Blue car with the side moldings painted black. Opinions? 5.0 High Performance Emblems - Black on eBay.ca (item 8022784683 end time 23-Nov-09 14:28:31 EST)
i've always really liked the black one's, but i don't like how they say "high performance" on them. if i ever decide to put badges back on my car, i want to find a set like them without the "high performance" part. still, i think they would look good on your car with your car being a dark blue with black trim.
I was thinking i could trim the "high performance" off... [edit] After looking at them again it might not be possible.It would end up in 3 pieces.
+1 the shaved look is nice but if you want those black ones, id cut the hi-po part off, i think it can be done.
the ones i have on my car is a 4 piece uses double sided tape on each. think i may go to just the numbers. my motor size is changed so im going to leave them on till i get the motor done
Black chrome. In other words...stock, but tinted black slightly. Prob is i don't think anyone makes them, but there are paints out there that you can do this yourself. I was actually thinking of doing it myself. I'd also like to pick up a black FORD emblem for the rear, and a do a "black chrome" 93 cobra grill pony as well. My car is black w/black int...so i'm doing an all black theme
my badges are coming off soon too, no reason to have them there when i have nothing ele on the car and no 5.0 anymore
Those are the badges I have. I'm not a fan of the "High Performance" part but the black 5.0 part matches my car well. And I think they would look good on a Twilight Blue car.
saw a pair on a guys car at work that hard Nitrous Injected on them. Still when or if I get em I want stock.
I decided i'm going with the stock 5.0 emblems.I'm going to copy your idea of the black chrome thing (if ya don't mind ) with my old 5.0 emblems to see how it looks.If it looks ok i'll do my new emblems.I found some paint that gives an anodized look to chrome, its made by Dupli-color Metalcast I picked up the "smoke" color. I'll post some pics soon.
That paint is badass works great good choice ive used it before i also like Duplicoior Metal specks paint gives u the old school sparkle
Def post pics. i have been meaning to do it but i am waiting til i have to order other stuff before i buy a pair of emblems. i even found black ford emblems on ebay. just wondering if i should do am LX emblem as well or leave it blank Posted via Mobile Device
I had the 5.0 High Performace badge on my car for a while cuz i thought it looked cool. But i love the way it looks badgeless much more.
