The main thing is whether you like it...as it is you car. You'll always get differing opinions on what is nice and what is not, but as long as youre happy with it, then keep it up

I think it looks pretty nice indeed, Although I dont have VVTi, I fitted a toyota truck V8 emblem and it looks phat. More people understand V8 than VVTi i guess.

My reference to N2shbby was to imply that a postive comment (on any subject) from him would be a first. He seems to be very negative in many of his posts and I replied in a moment of weakness. I should have directed my response towards the original post, rather than my towards NY brethren.

My apologies to all-

I think one of the V8 badges on each front fender in the spot like the old 5.0 stang badges would be better IF you're lookin to add some emblems. I think my car has enough badges already though. But if you like it who gives a sheet what others say.

I call it as I see it...if you don't want negative comments don't ask for comments in general...

you need to be able to take the bad with the good...learn to roll with the punches


with an attitude of "I only want to hear positive things" you set yourself up for a lot of un-needed drama and BS....not to mention a lot of lies and deceit


I dunno...maybe thats just the NY streetsmarts talkin for me

I think it is kinda cool.. i would like to see a pic from a distance though.. i touwl dlooks cool behind the front fender too... kinda like a l tuned badge...

nt2shabby.. i think he was saying you are negative on like most of your comments... i think negativity is a given when asking for an opinion but i think sometimes people take things they wrong way , the way you say it...

BUT rider1 .. get some more pics of it farther away!!

I haven't noticed that NT2SHBBY has been posting negative posts, but let's not all get bent out of shape here. He was just expressing his opinion and sometimes typed words come out a little more harsh than the spoken word. I really don't think he meant anything by it. In any event, R1DERFULL's post said "please don't blast me," so obviously he knew that this particular mod might spark a bit of controversy and that there would be some people out there that wouldn't be feeling it. Me personally? I wouldn't do it because I think it detracts a little from the classiness of the car. Again, that's my opinion and I'm entitled to it, just as R1DERFULL is entitled to his opinion that he likes the way it looks. I look at it this way -- it's kind of like how some American cars advertise the fact that the car comes equipped with anti-lock brakes by posting a big ABS emblem on the trunk lid. Anyway, just my .02.

i was thinking if you have the trd grille, putting it on the lower corner of the grille instead of the trd emblem, that would look pretty good
