I can't wait until I move out of a townhouse into a home with a garage. Raining here in Philly so I can't install my pony. Until then, enjoy a shot of mine. Looks really good and pictures don't do this any justice!

Looks amazing, but what is the little piece of stuff right in the centre. It almost looks like masking tape??

This is an installed picture, but it was getting dark. The flames still show up....somewhat.

Its where the airbrush spit a little bit....thats about as big as I'll let it go without re-spraying the entire part.

for what it looks like the lighting was in the background ( hard to tell in a picture) it looks about right. To get it to really pop in that light would be kind of overdoing it in regular daytime sunlight......wait till the sun hits it ( or shine a cars headlight on it at night ...it really stands out then)!!!!!

Don't misunderstand, it looks great. I just wanted to get a picture up ASAP. Since the grille is black the auto exposure was trying to compensate by making the background lighter as the sun was setting. The pony looks great. The flames are so real looking and the Redfire is a beautiful contrast to the black grille.

Just looking at the pic again, I dont think I'm EVER gonna shoot a red pony on a red background again :nono: IMO, it does not even look close to whats your really looks like and I remember it very well because your the only red-fire base I did!

Installation instructions ( for those who dont want to pop the grill out)

Its really easy....take off the radiator cover ( 6 push-pull pins) then remove the two 10mm bolts on the uprights that make up upper part of the bumper cover ( that runs up alongside the inside of the headlights) Then pull the grill and bumper cover out to gain access to the backside of the emblem. Get a small screw-driver to wedge in under the factory little round fasteners ( 4 of them) then simply twist under that till either the clips come off ( highly UN-likely) or till the little pins on the back of the factory emblem break off ( highly LIKELY...remember , If you ever want to re-use the chrome pony you can put it on very stable w/ 2 sided 3m sticky tape)..Once you get the new emblem in ( take care to make sure it does not fall out till you get at least one new fastener on) push the round clips on as far as you can with your fingers, then take a small socket , large enough for the pins to go into when you push on the clips but small enough to push the clips down over the pins......then stand back ( hopefully the sun is shining ) and enjoy....ohh and dont forget to put the radiator cover back on!!!!!!
