from an actual 5.0? i'd say that's pretty lame. Find some unique non cheesy 302 (or whatever your displacement is now) badges
i wouldn't
people already ask me if my 'o2 has a 5.0
having a "5.0" emblem on a New Edge would complicate matters further

See that's what I'm wondering.. I mean I get asked *all the time* "You got a 5.0 in there?"..
Now that I do (or will shortly) have a "302" I know that if I say "yes" to that question people will say I'm full of it.. Or if I had the 5.0 badges then some jerk would rip them off and trash my car.. Maybe rightly so.. But I don't know...
Anyways, just throwing it out there..

Never considered doing it to my car, but i agree with the above post it will just confuse people who don't understand that mustangs are no longer made with the 5.0 from the factory.

yea, thats the main question i get especially from people that no little about mustangs........but they all know the 5.0, damn vanilla ice lol
Hmm, it's like a lose-lose situation..
People think less of our cars because we don't have a 5.0, but think even less of us if we say we do..
I can think of only one solution.. Stop caring what people think..

yeah, people always assume mine has a 5.0, they don't even ask. Even the guy filling out paper work for my tranny build wrote down 5.0, I was like "WTF". Doesn't matter tho, i brought my tranny to them on a bench they didnt really get to see my car. Although i do hate it when you tell people it's a 4.6 and the go "ohhhhh" like they're disappointed. It's OHC and fuel injected you idiots!! what are you disappointed about, that you cant adjust the mixture at the christmas tree?

People that dont know much about stangs are so stupid that when they here that newer stangs only have 4.6's they automatically think its slower than a 5.0. I just purchased my first 5.0 the other day, & my little 4.6 Mach feels a thousand times faster. They dont realize that from the factory, most 4.6's are faster than 5.0's, but only in stock trim...
I wouldnt put 5.0 badges on your stang though....

i dont see any reason why not. maybe not the actual 5.0 badges, maybe you can put 5.0 stroker or something.
if it confuses anyone, its not that hard to understand. "it was a 4.6, i buy stroker kit, now its a 5.0." If its a mustang guy in the know, he knows whats up. if its anyone else, they either think youre a ricer misbadging or that youre good at modding cars.

I thought about adding 302 badges to the shaker if I change the displacement. I'd actually like to find some in the same style but says 281. You think the saleen ones would be too confusing?

No I actually meant to say like a thousand & 1 times faster than a stock 5.0!!!!
Your pretty funny man!!!!
Google came up with these badges from a company called autobadges.com..

Some of them are OK.. You need to scroll down pretty far for the 5.0/4.6/V8 ones..
I think I would maybe do a "302" badge..

a kid that lives next door to my fiancee has an 02 or 03 gt. i did a doubletake this week when i rolled up to her house and saw his car parked on the street, where i noticed something different on his decklid. i had to go in reverse to make sure i didnt just see a vintage 5.0 emblem where the ford logo usually is. surer than ****, it was the old 5.0 emblem.
im pretty damn sure that thing is bone stock, non stroked.
even though no one needs my approval on it, i do not approve it.
