Which 281 emblem do you like???
 
I want to put a 281 emblem on my shaker hood but can't decide on which one.

I vote for the black background, especially on a black Mustang!

Let's look at some historical pictures from a 1969 Mustang...

and one from a particular 2006... :grin:

I like them both, but I voted for #2 with the black backing. who has these and how much$$$?

If they didnt cost too much I'd get both then choose..(return the other one is possible)

Neither... they're just a tad too big for the shaker and they don't contour the shaker's curves correctly (the top front corner will stick out - remember how picky I am, Leo?). That's why I took them off. But, if I had to choose, it would be #2 (but I won't vote).

But, Dougxox, if you have to have them, go here:

http://www.autobadges.com/emblems/

I put them here instead, since I already bought them, and I like how you can't see them with the hood closed, but you can with the hood open:

I have #1 on mine. I think it looks better on a smooth surface-type hood like the GTAP hood scoop. I like #2 on a texture-type hood like the Shaker as shown in TacoBill's set-up. Both emblems are available via autobadges.com

Should I get the "cobra jet" emblem to go with it? Or should I only do one or the other.

Absolutely NOT! :slap:

But, if you must...

You don't have a Cobra Jet carb under the hood, do you?

LEO_06GT 9/16/06 11:53 PM

:bonk: ok, ok I get the point. No cobra jet emblem.

Those actually look really good. Can you take a measurement across for me? I'm wondering if they are smaller than the rectangle around the 281 in choice #2. If so, they may appear smaller without the box around them. Those are the emblems from Autobadges.com?

Yes, They are from autobadges.com. I paid $20.00 for the pair + $5.00 shipping. I just measured them: they're 1" high and 3" wide(about 1/8" thick).They're plastic, however, the quality appears to be good. There was a slight curve to the side of the hood scoop and I was worried that the emblems would pull away. They have not and are still place. :nice:

Thanks for the measurements. They might not want to pull away as much as the rectangle would on the other emblem.
