Now that I have dual exhaust, I don't want to misrepresent GT's on the road. I want people to know I have a V6, and I'm not trying to fake a GT. Should I use these 4.0 emblems or not?
I already put one on and I'm unsure about it. Your guys' input means a lot to me, so if I get enough "[:'(]" I'll take it off in a heart beat.
I don't have dual exhaust yet, but I have been thinking the same thing... I don't know if the 4.0 emblems is the way I will go, I am thinking about a hood scoop, so I am thinking about the '4.0L V6' lettering on the scoop.
try a little lower maybe (sort of in the middle top to bottom between the top of the 'c' and the hood line)... like:

That sounds like a good idea. If/when you do it, don't hesitate to post pictures!
How about the placement of the emblem? Would you move it up down left or right?
The sucker is stuck there pretty good, how would one move it without scratching my paint?
use a hair dryer or heat gun... same way I took off the body side moldings I had on mine... what you might do is make a cutout of white paper of the 4.0 and use scotch tape to look at it on the car to where you want the placement... then when you get close you can do the real thing... of course this is my opinion someone else may like where you have it now

Yeah, the girlfriend likes it where it is right now. The GT's have their emblem too low for my taste. I'd like to move it to the right a little and down.
Thanks for the tip. I actually used the scotch tape trick (you can see it on the ground next to my tire... kinda) but the tape distracted me too much, but it was still great for taking measurements.
i think it looks good since you got that mustang stripe along the bottom. i would also agree that the 4.0 needs to come down lower. ALSO, i totally agree and respect you for not trying to misrepresent the GT's. i started a discussion a month or so ago on this very subject. i actually focused more on the GT fog lights and GT rear bumper covers on the V6s and how they dont belong on the V6. was a good discussion/debate but i've become more open and accepting to the GT look on the V6 (just wont do it to my car). the only thing i would do to my car that is from a GT is throw on some polished aluminum bullit GT 18' wheels. BUT then again, the pony package already sports bullit wheels on the V6 (except that they are 17s, not 18s) so i guess i wouldnt be doing anything different than ford itself is already doing (except for my dual exhaust but that is for performance/sound/looks and at least i kept the V6 bumper on ).
I'll drop it a half an inch or so and move it toward the the wheel a little bit. I just have to pull it into the garage to get access to an outlet for my hairdryer (parents park in the garage...)
Thanks again for your input fellas. Sincerely appreciate it.
