Debadging the rear

['14SHO]

looking for examples of debadged trunks. Thought about remove the Taurus and the EcoBoost and replacing with a SHO emblem that I’ll add a picture of. Not sure of placement of the SHO badge. Maybe one of the original spots

Here’s what mine looks like for a small reference.
Kept my ecoboost, just got an aftermarket gel one instead to match my red

"Medium" smoke tint, headlights and taillights. I know its not for everyone, i actually didnt like it before i had it done. Seeing in person looks alot better in my opinion.

I think it looks pretty good in the pics also.
I have it in my list of modifications to consider when I start my project.
Do you notice the medium tint on the headlight brightness at night?

Yes i actually did, especially when its at night and raining. I swear a lot of the time it doesn't even look like my lights are on(only in the rainy night conditions). I've been looking at getting brighter bulbs to help this problem, as i really like the look of the tinted headlights.

This is why I took mine off AND I got in a little fender bender couple years ago and they had to replace the right headlight, this one did't have the tint obviously - one night it was very noticeable the difference between the 2 headlights.

I wanted to tint my headlights but I like the stock look of them really so I left them alone and went with smoke on the rear

Just did this to my emblems. Didn't totally debadge the rear but, simply relocated them. Got the idea from another forum where bpd1151 did this to his Taurus

I really like that look. I saw a black one with emblems relocated there. I didn’t think it looked that good. On white, looks pretty sharp.

There's absolutely NO way I could do that because of my OCD! How do you space them just right, level them, etc...? It would bother the living **** out of me if it's even 1mm off!

Use painters tape to mark out here you want them.

I did a "How-To" tutorial on it, many many years ago. Glad to see it's still of use/relevance.

I'll have to dig around for it, and link it here.

It wasn't hard bpd1151 payed out the measurements perfectly in his how-to. It took me about an hour to get them off and back on.use painters tape and make sure your measurements are on spot and it'll look professionally done. I used 3m double sided tape to put them back on the car and boy are they on there for good

I like the blacked out look.
This isn’t my ride, but this car looks great! It was sitting outside a shop called “Trick Labs” in my home town of Butler PA.
This is actually two tone black and I think that wild black cherry Mustang color?
Looks great!
