California Special emblem on trunk

It took some nerve, but I drilled 6 holes in the trunk for the California Special emblem. I did not want the cheap look of 2 way adhesive tape. I put barrel clips on the studs of the logo, then pushed them into the right side of the trunk, trust me they will not come out. The spacing was alittle tight, but I grew up in the 60's when most cars had an emblem for a specific model of the brand of car on the trunk lid. This dressed up the back of the car.

I think I would have "stuck" them on for a couple of months first just to be sure that I still liked them before drilling the holes, but hey that's just me. It looks good.

1968 MUSTANG GT, California Special Emblem1-800-775-0101 California Mustang is where I purchased the emblems. I ground down the pins on the 2nd emblem and used 2 way tape and placed them just above the glove box on the dash, really dresses up the interior.
