Trunk badging delete?

[SHOwNGO]

Anybody else remove the TAURUS and SHO/ecoboost emblems off their trunk lid? IMHO it looks a lot better (much cleaner with just the Ford oval on the trunk) and makes people wonder what kind of Ford just blew by them. I like having just the tiny c-pillar SHO emblems, the even tinier Taurus faux-vent emblems, and the SHO dash emblem as the only markings on the car. I also blacked out the front Ford oval (so it is black embossed). The hideous black plastic engine cover also got tossed today (along with the mouse nest residing under it). I'd post pictures of the trunk lid, but it's pretty easy to use your imagination on this mod.

I still haven't seen any images of the engine sans couvre'.

Looks good, although that Ford emblem never bothered me back there.

I would black out the whole strip besides the ford emblem.

I already blacked out the silver painted bar above and below the chrome bar with the oval emblem. If I blacked out the all the grille chrome, I might as well wait and get a "interceptor" grille to replace it. The chrome looks good on a silver car, but a chrome grille is too much contrast on a black car (I like all the chrome turned to black on a black car).

Nice way to make a non SHO look very much like a SHO! A little harder on the SHO with the Chrome around the tail lights though......
