SHO Emblems and Badges

[Joe Caughel]

Hello SHO'ers,

I was thinking of removing the badges from the back of my car and replacing it with a black "SHO" emblem. Does anyone know of a good badge to replace it with? I saw the below one on eBay but it is hard to tell quality from a listing. Thoughts?

I don't care for the font on that. It's got to be just like the original for me. I like the idea though on a Platinum White SHO.

You've got to be kidding me! I just installed this emblem on Saturday - replaced where the previous SHO/Ecoboost badge was - looks much better in my opinion! I also had to remove the ugly "Taurus" badge and replaced with "3.5 Twin Turbo," badge in chrome/black finish to match! I'll take pics and post.

I would love to see pictures please!

for now that's exactly what i have. i used the sho badge in mid above crease & spaced it out, tt 3.5 on one side & awd/eco on the other. may change but for now that's what it is. the sho badge came from china in about 3 days & quality & adhesive were first rate, how it will last, who knows. but my show queen rarely sees bad weather unless it rains at a show. by the way mine is tricoat white so cares the color scheme fine.

I swapped mine out not too long ago.

Here's what I did. Likey or no lilkey??...

Great look! Really works, especially since it kind of allows the background of the emblems to "dissolve" into the silver of the paint

I don't know if it would improve the looks any, but if the "SHO" were moved over to the left a tad so the left edge follows the edge created by the taillight, like the 3.5 emblem does on the left side, it would be symmetric. That's a tough one to me ...

you read my mine, except on front, bra is at the seamstress now. if it turns out like i think it will, it should be something & manu thanks once again for getting my head straight. hope you like the bra, didn't go over board. maybe you can guess. the way i got it. hope for end of week but guy was real busy. & you can tell a guys real roots when there's a 2002 stratus r/t behind the sho. only 2nd ford i ever bought but she gets the garage & the 2 mopars sit outside.

funny, actually it's got a c/f look. trying to keep road rash on the bumper to a min. beside it stand out & i like that.

Ford should have a "Name Designation (Taurus) Delete" option box.

Thinking of changing my emblems also but had a question before I attempt it. Do the original emblems on a 2012 have pins on the back or are they just 2 way taped? Also, what's the best way to remove them?
Thanks

If it's just tape - park the car in the hot sun or use a hair dryer to make the emblems hot so the tape becomes easier to remove, then use dental floss and work slowly down behind the emblems. There will be some residue left on the car but just use some wax or soap or actually use vegetable oil - seriously works to remove glue/adhesive!

Thanks. Ordered the emblems I want & will give it a try.
