Here are some quick shots I took of my dad's 68 fastback, with the new rims & tires...choosing tires was a long process, but we're happy with the 215/65/15 BFGs we chose.

The emblem is a design I came up with for my dad, his initials are RSR, and since we painted it silver, 'silver bullet' seemed to fit. We spelled it 'bullet' so as to not be associated with the movie....

The emblem was created by BilletBadges.com, and a closeup can be seen here:

Yes, I remember the thread when you originally talked about that. Don't you have one on the rear panel as well? What'd that cost?

Yes we have one on the ductail as well. The emblem is 2pieces, with the bullet bolted onto the main panel. As far as cost - they weren't cheap, but well worth it. I'm not sure of what the rules are for posting pricing and such, so I won't post it for now..I'm sure each custom design varies in price.. Steve at BilletBadges.com is a great person to work with, and pays great attention to his customer service.

Trick65 - as on your thread, I love those badges of yours, really ties into the whole image and 'feel' of the mustang. nice work.
