My first impulse was that I didn't like it. But I didn't want to take it off haphazardly without getting a few opinions.

Thanks, everybody, for all the votes, opinions, and compliments!

 

I vote

 

so whats the final call??

 

Looks good to me. Haven't seen it anywhere else so its different which is always a plus. fits in good with the whole look of your car. Plus if you like it thats the main thing.

 

I just don't know! Guess I'll leave it on for awhile to see if it grows on me. I doubt the white will fade enough to make a difference if it's on for awhile.

 

You all must have forgotten a VERY ESSENTIAL element in his decision...

When Mustangs came out with shakers in the late 60's, lots said Powered by Ford somewhere, whether it was on the hood, shaker, or usually valve covers.

He is not putting that there to just let us know what kind of engine he has, it is a throwback to the days when Stangs really had shakers and "Powered by Ford" on them.

I think it is awesome and ties in with the theme...Maybe these new age stang guys dont get it?

 

should be "FORD POWER" or use the FRP logos.

powered by x is like so 90's street racer. (I had them all over my civic) that it is out of place on the mustang.

 

Thanks! This is a very good point... I am trying to keep the retro theme going.

 

I guess I'm in the 90's (well, I was up until the Shaker came along)!

 

No, we haven't forgotten. We're just voting on how we think the letters look on his hood.

Trooper originally didn't ask for the 'PBF' decals to be put on, the car was returned with them on.

He isn't restoring a classic Mustang, he's modding it with hints of the past on a present car.
So do the letters belong there? There isn't a right or wrong, it's pure personal taste.

 

I've decided to keep it... at least for the time being.

On the road, it really isn't visible as it's flat on the hood. Only trucks really get a good look at it. I'll wait to see what kind of comments I get at a few local car shows. Even though the hood will be up, people walk around the car and will see it.

It is different and isn't really that "busy". I guy at work has something written next to his fake scoop and tribal flames all over the hood... that's kinda "busy".

Thanks for all the comments and opinions and votes. Keep them coming if you want... I like to hear what y'all think!

 

Yeah, if you change it I would put some emblem on the side of the scoop. That makes those shakers look mean

 

I had "281" emblems on my scoop, but just didn't like them that much:

It's your car, your call! I voted "no" - I don't like "powered by..." stickers on any car, to me that spells "rice". Also, it's not like you are going to pop the hood and find an Oldsmobile engine in there, I think that most of us assume that a Ford just happens to be powered by Ford.

Just personal preference! It's a beautiful car! Love the clear front turn signal lights.

If you like them, keep them! It's your right as an American.

 

Thanks for the compliment! They flow so well with the other lights on the front of the car, while the amber stuck out like a sore thumb. They would look great on a black car, too!
