But take a look at this image and tell me if it looks like it's made of metal or plastic. (I KNOW they're plastic, I'm just complimenting the company who made them.)
The only unknown is whether that black paint (if it actually IS paint,) will come off as it does on SO many Ford badges these days and they still haven't fixed it that I know of.
Ford has been tapping Tribar Manufacturing in Howell, Michigan for a number of years for badging, grille assemblies, etc. The badges are injection molded with a chrome-like or polished looking appearance. They do a fantastic job. Their website.
Welcome
A few years ago I swapped the rear decklid panel on my GT350 to a blank, badgeless panel from Ford Racing. Here are the two...
I pulled the badge off the panel as well as from an extra front grille assembly I had to take a closer look at them.
The level of detail matches that of the snake being used on the GT500 and is very similar.
I considered having blanks made such that any laser engraved vector could be done so I decided to model the OEM badge in Soldiworks.
I was extremely impressed with the level of detail from both a design and manufacturing standpoint. That led me to other ideas that I never finished such as a wheel centercap (in this case on an R model wheel that I rendered) that would use the same snake...
And just playing in CAD...
