Anybody elses cobra emblems backwards?

[TJS95Cobra]

Just bought a bone stock 01 Cobra 2 weeks ago and noticed the snakes on the fenders are backwards (mouth is facing rear of car). Looked at my 03 cobra and those are facing forwards and looked at other pictures of members cars and noticed all are facing forward. Also its a coupe but it has the button to put the top down in on the console???? Do i have some one of a kind (screw up) or something? (Yes its a real cobra since i have the cert. from SVT and it has a clean title). Just curious

You gotta put that in your signature line.

seems like it was in a wreck and they changed out some interior parts with a conv. and re-painted.

 

[asiancobra]

my car was never wrecked though, atleast that i know of.....i'm guessing those with the backward emblems got the teksid block?:shrug: i know mine does.....

alot of 03s have this problem too

Maybe these cobras will be worth more down the road for this mistake?

Yeah I confirmed the vin#...it all checks out and the car has never been in a wreck...just ran a car fax....I just find it a little strange that the emblems are backwards and there is a convertible button....?

Carfax is not always accurate. It still could of been in a wreck.

A buddies 04 Cobra had that too.. Its pretty strange.. Maybe the person on the line had a hang over that day.. And many other days too seeing its on different year cars..

Try pushing the "Top Down" button and see what happens.... could be some pretty fugged up shit.

Three explanations:

1). The car had to be painted for some reason that wasn't reported to insurance like it got keyed or bicycle scratch in the garage, and after paint the body shop put the emblems on backwards by mistake.

2). The folks on the assembly line did this as a gag to see how many Mustang junkies would run around chasing their tales over this "mistake".

3). The previous owner of the car switched them just to mess w/ people's heads.


. . . my money is on #3!

i know it's not a huge deal, but if i got my car with backwards badges that would be the first thing i would switch. i would most definitely want them facing forward like they're supposed to.

How hard is it to take them off and switch it?

 

[01 Venom]

wow thats interesting, they are just double side taped on, should be able to get em off with some heat and lovin.

I had to go check mine...they're facing front, but I too have the vert top down switch on the console. Good thing because it is a vert!
