Trunk Medallion

Thanks. Not my idea, got it from a member on another forum. Just felt my GT didn't need two gas caps. Eventually going to replace it with a custom painted chrome and redfire pony from Southern Mustang Parts.

My picture got lost somehow so here it is again. The center is stock and the chrome is painted gloss black.

For those of you that painted the emblem how is the paint holding up? I'm thinking of doing this on my 2010 and don't want it looking like crap in a few months

If i pulled off my faux gas cap on my 07 get that has seen the sun since i purchased it back in 06 what are the chances that the paint under it will match the paint around it. Im worried about sun fade but im not sure if im worrying for nothing

Trunk Medallion

Just thought I'd throw this in. Changed the original grill pony I used to a smaller grill pony from a 1973 Mustang. About 1/3 smaller, looks a bit better preportioned. Got it from CJ Pony Parts. One pic shows both and the size difference.

Not bad. I liked the bigger one too, though.

Still trying to decide what to do about mine... I wish I could find a trunk blackout panel that has a smooth finish and does NOT cost over $200!

The most tedious part was applying thin strips of double-sided trim tape before putting them on the car.





I need to resurrect this thread because I'm trying to find out how to flatten out these '68 GT badges! I can't find any info on how to do this, so any help would be appreciated, as I'm dying to use this for my rear medallion!

Ed, I'm looking to do the same thing. To flatten out the GT badge is easy. Wrap the badge in a microfiber towel and place between 2 pieces of wood and place in a shop press. That'll flatten it out. If it's not completely flat replace the wood with a metal plate but keep the towel over it so it won't scratch.

Thanks! I'll give it a try!

Here's what I've got so far.

Ok I received my GT center cap emblems from CJ Pony Parts, removed posts and flattened them with my shop press. I've mounted it to the Black Ring / Chrome Door medallion from SHR. Tell me what you think. I'll post a pic in a day or two when I get it on the car.
