[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16287488, member: 83412"] 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. [URL='http://www.tribarmfg.net/Welcome.html']Welcome[/URL] 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... [ATTACH=full]1598662[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1598663[/ATTACH] 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. [ATTACH=full]1598664[/ATTACH] The level of detail matches that of the snake being used on the GT500 and is very similar. [ATTACH=full]1598665[/ATTACH] I considered having blanks made such that any laser engraved vector could be done so I decided to model the OEM badge in Soldiworks. [ATTACH=full]1598666[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1598667[/ATTACH] 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...
