Opinions on emblem?

I went ahead and pulled the GT badges in order to replace them with the tri-bar ponies. I’m going for a little bit of sleeper action; perhaps I can bait some Hondas now! I cleaned up the GT badges and stuck one of them to the dash area, but I’m not sure I like it. (they are quite large). Opinions?

I think it looks pretty good, but it might impair your Honda baiting if they spot it

Looks pretty good. The inside GT badge does add an interesting touch to an otherwise boring dash panel. My mustang is the same inside (minus the badge), and I always wanted to have something else along that panel. Have others dressed up their panels in other ways?

Some have put the tri-bar pony badge in the same place... the same ones that he put on his fenders. Others have done the same with GT500 badges... the old school ones.

It looks alright... I'd prefer the tri-bar pony there. But... not bad.

GT on the dash is a little too big IMHO-I do like the Ponies on the fenders, however.

I ordered an extra GT badge and did the same thing just down below where you put yours.

I'd like to see a pic of it on the black part of the dash.

I think it may be a little too big for that area of the dash...

I don't know what everyone has against the GT badges on the fenders, I think they look cool. Not so sure about having the big chrome one on the dash though, maybe a smaller vinyl sticker would look more in place.

The Pony's also look cool on your fenders, I'm the odd one out who prefers the GT though.

I bought a couple V8 chrome badges, I wanted to put one on my dash but decided against it. I really like the old school V8 symbol but no idea where to put them. Maybe the fridge.

Yeah, I put a tri-bar pony on the exact same place he put the GT emblem.
Wanted a little more retro look like the one they had on the glove box in the 60's.

Pic of a tri-bar

Here's a picture of glovebox tri-bar. Two days ago, I accidently knocked it off (last time I use cheap double-sided tape).

Thanks for all of the feedback guys. I thought about putting a tri-bar pony there, but after installing tri-bar pony center caps, tri-bar pony fender badges, and with the tri-bar pony on the steering wheel, yet another tri-bar pony seemed a bit much!
