    Finally picked up my car yesterday.Here's a few quick pics i took this morning after work.It still needs to be cleaned up a bit but i don't want to chance anything until the paint cures for a week or so.I ended up getting the side moldings painted body color just in case i prefer it over the black that it had originally.I can always repaint them black if i decide to go that route.I also took a few pics of the "5.0 High Performance" emblem i was debating putting on.I'm thinking about removing the "high performance"part.We'll see....here's some pics.Yes...i know,tire shine is my friend.;)

    One with 5.0 emblem on temporarily...

    Looks great! I always like the minimalist approach...badgeless, but the emblems look nice from the pic. It's a nice touch to the car!

    VERY nice!

    and i'm in agreement about the no badge. when i get to the body work phase of mine all of the badges will come off and stay off. i say, let them guess what's under the hood :nice:

    Looks nice! Is that the factory blue? If it is, my car is the same exact color and I think I might stay with this color now that I've seen your's. I'm also voting for badgeless...i'm going badgeless on mine too.

    LOVE the diamond-clear lenses, and those wheels are just right. I WANT. :drool:

    Oh yeah, and one more vote here for badgeless. One less thing to wax around in the future. :nice:

    Looks very good! Keep it badgeless! That color is my second favorite color on a Fox, first being my medium cabernet.

    Looks great!!! I like it better with the moldings painted body color with the dark blue, but on light colors like Oxford white, I like the black moldings... Badgeless looks nice too...:nice:
