Powered or Not Powered by Ford?

When I started this post, I totally forgot that I wanted to get opinions on the 'POWERED BY FORD' that is next to the shaker scoop:

Attachment 4990 Attachment 4991 Attachment 4992

They are centered, and straight, and the font is fine, but I'm curious about what the thoughts are on even having something written there.

If you think they are cool / look good / not out of place, then vote to keep them!

If you think they are tacky / look awful / don't really belong there, then vote to get rid of them!

Thanks for the input!

Looks good to me also. It appears to flow with the stripes and it looks to be authentic,like the "boss"stripes and some others do not.

Before I would have said that having "Powered by Ford" on a Mustang was unnecessary, but after watching "F&F: Tokyo Drift", I don't think telling what kind of engine it has is uncalled for

I thought that, too. I mean, I hope there's a Ford engine in there!

I like the idea, but not sure about the powered by ford. Maybe this:

281 CI 3V

Thoughts? I think it looks cool to have lettering along the shaker, just finding the right balance of lettering.

Looks good to me. Besides that keep it simple. I don't to see any gold plated 281 badges stuck all over that thing! Heh, I jest, but really, it looks good and keep it how it is!

Tom,

I think you should remove the lettering from the hood, and put the "Powered By Ford" on the side of the shaker hood scoop. JMHO, and the car looks great by the way!

Powered by Ford on a Ford seems silly to me.

The Ford plenum cover says Powered by Ford, so, just restating the obvious I suppose.

Did "powered by petroleum derived hydrocarbon heavy liquid mixture" not fit?


Just kidding, I like it. Though I agree with the guy who suggested shaker-side adornment instead.

89Trooper - What's your first impulse when YOU see it?
If you don't like it or aren't sure, take it off. I like it. Good choice of font too - modern looking.

I voted to remove it, although it doesn't look "awful". Looks good upon the initial view, but the longer I look at it the more it looks wrong.
Of course you know I think your car looks great !.
