Tri Pony Badges
I always wanted to do this.
$100.00 and 10 minutes later, poof, it's done.
More of a "classic" look I think.
The original GT and the new Tri Pony emblems are double back taped in place. I used a wood chisel and a paperback book to pry them off. There are indexing pins and corresponding holes in the fender and trunk lid.
Would I do it all over? Yeah.
Does anybody really care? Probably not.
Rock on...

Yeah, they were ~$23 each for the fender emblems and ~$52 for the gas cap. I got them from the dealer. It was kind of an impulse buy. I guess that's what I get... I still like them.

I think they look good but I am still partial to the GT badge. It's basically the only thing that distinguishes my car from the V6. But I do really like how the pony badges look and have considered it myself.

I'll swap the GT-Logo for a 68 "Mustang" Vintage-Logo next week.
Thought about the Tri-Bar-Pony in chrome but its quite large and I voted against it. Bought a new trunk logo which is at an airbrush-shop at the moment:
Final solution is coming soon.

I guess I feel otherwise...I always thought the "GT" emblems were badges of honor signifying the higher horsepower model and that the "Tri-Pony" emblems were relegated to the less powerful V6s...my "GT" emblems will remain as they are "straight from the factory."

However there is some mismatches of classic authentic details model by model on the new Mustangs...
The Pony package on the new Mustang V6 consists mostly of all the classic Mustang GT's styling details including the grille with the corraled pony and horizontal chrome bar with small round fog lamps on each end and rocker stripes.
The new GT's wears none of the authentic styling detail of any classic Mustang GT but instead has no rocker stripes and uses a rear wing style that was only on classic Mach1's and Bosses. The grille of the new GT looks mostly like the 1969 Mustang with large lamps flanking the ends of a large black grille with no chrome detail. The optional hood scoop on the new GT is a 1965-66 Shelby style. GT's did not have a hood scoop until 1969 and it was a different style...
The GT was discontinued after 1969 while the Mach 1 and Boss models took dominance... However Ford does not seem to be making room for classically popular Mach 1's and Boss models to exist.
