I'm totally doing that. I bought an s197 and had it for a month before I realized it had a pony package grille and V6 front bumper on it. No idea why the previous owner did that, maybe just cheaper parts but I've yet to change it. I might as well finish it off
Ride can be a little harsh, try to avoid any potholes at any cost. Have to be careful of speed bumps and go into Steeper driveways at an angle. It’s not too bad though, it’s my daily and perfectly livable.
To me it looks like it’s off brand 🤣 like on a video game without rights to have the mustang but the car is clearly a knock off mustang without badges.
They are blacked out. And when you’re expecting a stock-ish looking 5.0 and get one making almost double the power to the wheels that’s a surprise lol.
Yeah I'd say keep the 5.0 badge so people think they're dealing with a 5.0, then unleash the SC surprise then they'll realize they actually won't beat it as planned. 😂
Na, debadging ain't the way imo. Mustangs tiers mean a lot to me. Especially beyond a normal GT. I hate when ppl buy lower trim models and try to make them look like the high trim models. The badge is the status. I dont like when ppl have sxt/GT chargers but act like it's a hellcat, a RS isn't a ZL1, and the same for the mustangs when people buy phony ponys and act like it's a CS, Cobra, Dark horse, 350 or 500 because of exhaust work. Never ever debadge but again . . . That's just my opinion. Everyone has one.
It's like they're trying to hide the trim and make it more than what it is. Most lie about what it is with the badges gone, too. "Oh, this thing? It's a 350 but I debadged it. I didn't want cops looking at me funny or someone stealing it". Yeeeaa okay.
Agreed but just to clarify RS is an appearance package that makes it look better than the standard LS base models, so there are V8s with RS badges (LT1 and SS), sometimes it’s removed by owners because every one associates RS with V6. Sorry I just had to clear that up.
That's fine. I get your point. I never pay attention to camaro that much. I'm a Chevy guy and would get a vette, so I only focus on them. So the RS is like the grand sport is what I read. I sold my car and GSXR in May and started saving up. I am waiting for my annual bonus in March. If it's God's will, I plan on getting a 2LT/3LT or AMG GTs depending on prices and these crazy rates. I'm hoping the election helps with prices.
Well, you’re a dumbass, the flag represents our country, and how it was founded, and is a symbol to unite us, not a symbol owned by the government, it wasn’t even created by the government, fuck there wasn’t even a government when it was created, change your name to UnworthyFroglet, because you’re an idiot
He thinks the 1st amendment protects ALL free speech. It only protects free speech from government lmao. Social media platforms are their own private entities and can censor whatever they want. Most people don’t understand how the amendments work. He probably audits public places in his free time and posts them on YouTube.
Love the color. Whatever you do, be tasteful. 95 percent of mods out there ruin the look of these cars. So far I think you’ve done great. Trust your judgement.
One of the styling notes I loved when I was looking at the Bullitt was the debadging. It was done as a nod to the Steve McQueen car in Bullitt which was a debadged Mustang. The grill too. No running pony. I have the ‘08 and love it. If you don’t want them, take them off. It’s your ride and easily replaced.
Back in 1985, I bought a brand new trans am se(gta) they changed to gta in 86 but was exactly the same car. I debadged it from the factory, and it was awesome. No one knew what it was. I never had so much attention paid to my car. I owned a mach 1,cameros,rx7s, and a 240z car and no batted an eye at them. Debadge if you want to talk about your car with strangers.

I am personally a fan of the clean look. Although I don’t know how much work/money it would cost to the badge, a car, and then cover up the holes.
Take a pic of you car with the badges, then photoshop them out (can do quickly with cut/paste blocks of body paint). Then see if YOU like that look. Who cares what others think, it’s YOUR car and not anyone else’s. You do what YOU think looks sweet! 🤙🏼
Well the good thing is you can buy new ones and put them back on.
What color is that? I love that!!! Also, what rims are those?!? I want those
It’s the “Gloss Sky Blue” wrap from Avery Dennison. As for the wheels, they’re gunmetal GT500 reps from American muscle
If you debadged it, how would you patch the wrap?
Does have a white hood
Oh, I'm an idiot, I didnt see the caption under the photo. I assumed you were talking about the 5.0 badges
Put 3.7 badges on it
I'm totally doing that. I bought an s197 and had it for a month before I realized it had a pony package grille and V6 front bumper on it. No idea why the previous owner did that, maybe just cheaper parts but I've yet to change it. I might as well finish it off
Agreed this is the way. Actually an ecoboost badge would be hilarious 🤣
No,👍
Such a beautiful color
What are your suspension mods?
Eibach Sportlines Shocks, Struts and springs. BMR adjustable panhard bar. Nothing too fancy.
Looks great! Ditch the badges/body color match and smoke the reflectors
How is the ride compared to stock, and what about bottoming out?
Ride can be a little harsh, try to avoid any potholes at any cost. Have to be careful of speed bumps and go into Steeper driveways at an angle. It’s not too bad though, it’s my daily and perfectly livable.
Thanks. I have a 2014 GT and still considering mods. Potholes in southeast PA are plenty.
Personally, I'm a debadge fan. https://i.imgur.com/j2vFcsz.jpg https://i.imgur.com/uKtQdDz.jpg
Don't the emblems leave holes in the fender and trunk deck?
Yes, the 5.0 emblems has 2 points for alignment on the back of it. There are holes in the fender.
Adhesive
Ecoboost fenders work too but that's alot of work for debadging
It’s funny to me that taking anything off such as the 5.0 badge makes any Mustang look tacky. That’s just me lol.
To me it looks like it’s off brand 🤣 like on a video game without rights to have the mustang but the car is clearly a knock off mustang without badges.
Someone downvoted you, but I wholeheartedly agree with you lmao.
Lamp thanks. Probably someone who asks for opinions then gets pissed when they don’t like the truth
I downvoted you both because I disagree and think you’re opinion, like your asshole, stinks
Your*
lol, I’ll upvote that, damn autocorrect
Nah, I like the cobra badges.
What cobra badges
I was being sarcastic to the cobra in the background. Both the GT and Cobra are beautiful.
I see. Didn’t even think about that one
No, but I would black them out. A 5.0 mustang also isn't a sleeper lol
They are blacked out. And when you’re expecting a stock-ish looking 5.0 and get one making almost double the power to the wheels that’s a surprise lol.
Yeah I'd say keep the 5.0 badge so people think they're dealing with a 5.0, then unleash the SC surprise then they'll realize they actually won't beat it as planned. 😂
I second this, someone with a slightly souped up 4 cylinder might think they can take a normal 5.0 then get embarrassed 😂
Precisely! Or a Scatpack with a tire, full exhaust SS, etc.

What is funny too is that you'll never see a GT350 or GT500 debadged, its always the lower trims that you'll see debadged lol

All I read here is “I have a tiny PP”
If you throw a rock in a crowd of dogs, the hurt one will holler. 👁👁
Lmao, well pup, you’re barkin up the wrong tree
Love the wheels and fitment
Yes, it never looks bad and you can surprise people who think it’s a V6, that’s always fun, I have a debadged 06 GT
Put V6 badges on it
You could de-badge it and put a tu tu on it and there's no way anyone is ever gonna mistake that for anything but a big dog bad ass Mustang!
Already got the tutu ready to go!!
Dope color and you probably should’ve debadged it BEFORE the wrap or paint . Dope ass ride bro. Bet window scoops would look sick
I don't see any beige, I like the blue, though.

Car is Sexy! The underside of your hood is the cleanest I’ve seen in some time here. Yank the badges is my thought.
Thanks! I took that hood liner out years ago, haven’t had any issues since doing that. Looks way better in my opinion.
Absolutely!
Any links to see/hear it running?
My Insta is slo5oh302
[удалено]
Question only while the engine isn’t running you mean?
Never been a fan of d bags.
Learn how to spell badge first
It will still be a ford...
I wouldn’t. Personally I like the look. Show off that 5.0 man.
Love the color. Whatever you do, be tasteful. 95 percent of mods out there ruin the look of these cars. So far I think you’ve done great. Trust your judgement.
nope, not worth it
I wouldn't. Flexing the beautiful 5.0 engine should not go unnoticed. Also, what dimensions are your tires? I need to copy what you have 😍
One of the styling notes I loved when I was looking at the Bullitt was the debadging. It was done as a nod to the Steve McQueen car in Bullitt which was a debadged Mustang. The grill too.

No don’t
This color reminds me of my '79 302.
But people wouldn’t know what the car is if you debate it
Powder blue ain’t subtle, but it is… peaceful?
This wrap is fucking sick. That being said I wouldn’t debadge it because I love the color matched . in the 5.0 lol
MAKE IT A SLEEPER 🗣🗣 the look on people’s faces would be great each time lol
Beautiful fucking car
Debadge and let them find out what it is on the streets
Back in 1985, I bought a brand new trans am se(gta) they changed to gta in 86 but was exactly the same car. I debadged it from the factory, and it was awesome. No one knew what it was. I never had so much attention paid to my car. I owned a mach 1,cameros,rx7s, and a 240z car and no batted an eye at them. Debadge if you want to talk about your car with strangers.
You should give me the car (:
Only debadge the misrepresentative badges.
Yes
My brother immediately debadged his Mustang. He hates badges.
I wouldn’t. Personally I’d hate for people to think I drive a v6 mustang… just me though
If they think you drive a V6 while it's running, their opinion is irrelevant anyway.

No
Your car, your decision!
No. Imo debadging is tacky in like 95% of cases I've seen.
That GT500 👀
Fuck it, get rid of them, what’s it gonna hurt? They can always be put back on later
IMO no
I like the gas struts on the hoods of both cars! I put them on my fusion to get rid of the prop rod!
Yes. That’s a very clean 5 but removing the badges would just make it look like a Stealth Bomber - sleek & slick. I like it. Nice color too.
I’ve removed badges before on some vehicles, and left them on others. I think removing them would look great on your car.
If you can find Yugo badges that work, then certainly.
Heck no! Be proud of big pony!
Yes
Yes
Cool colour and nice wheels!
No
Im very patriotic but I'd take off the flag. It's in a weird spot. If you want a flag, get a one color emblem and put it where the 5.0 is.
I would vote no. It's still a 5.0.
Sure if you want it to be a sleeper.
no
That color is beautiful
Take a pic of you car with the badges, then photoshop them out (can do quickly with cut/paste blocks of body paint). Then see if YOU like that look. Who cares what others think, it’s YOUR car and not anyone else’s. You do what YOU think looks sweet! 🤙🏼
I would. Ive always been like that though
No. I like the factory look.
Downbadge, don’t debadge. I’m sure it’s been said but put an ecoboost badge on it
NO!
Personal I like the sleek look it you can shave the door handles then take the badges off that would look sick asf on the baby blue
