[QUOTE="earico, post: 10479041, member: 114682"] I've had this planned for awhile now but just now got around to doing it. I love the Cobra emblem in the grill but IMO the ones that we have on our fenders look too small in that big opening. A Shelby Cobra emblem is bigger but won't fit. Unless you do surgery on it... So I bought this: [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290531733893]07-09 Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra Fender Emblem Right OEM - eBay (item 290531733893 end time Feb-13-11 19:54:23 PST)[/url] and then got to work. I studied the piece over and decided where to make my cuts. Then I super glued the 2 pieces together. You can see how much I cut out. [ATTACH=full]161870[/ATTACH] Then I scored the backside. [ATTACH=full]161871[/ATTACH] Then I filled it with JB Weld [ATTACH=full]161872[/ATTACH] Comparison of the new emblem next to the stock one. [ATTACH=full]161873[/ATTACH] After it dried I drilled the holes in the existing bracket. [ATTACH=full]161874[/ATTACH] Then I cut out the bracket after tracing around the new emblem. [ATTACH=full]161875[/ATTACH] Then I repainted the exposed bare metal & roughed up the bracket and back side of the new emblem. Then I JB welded the new emblem to the bracket. I also put the old retainer clips on the 2 posts on the new emblem. They also got JB weld on top of them. [ATTACH=full]161876[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]161877[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]161878[/ATTACH] The finished product. [ATTACH=full]161879[/ATTACH] On the car. [ATTACH=full]161880[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]161881[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]161882[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]161883[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]161884[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]161885[/ATTACH] At a distance of 18" you really can't tell that I seamed it. I am very pleased with how it came out. [/QUOTE]
