Title: My new "Turbo Coupe" badges
Post by: RDOG on January 09, 2010, 12:18:40 PM
I just installed a brushed aluminum gas door on my 86 TC. I had to use a 95 mustang gas door because of the size. Well..I wanted matching name badges so I had a set made.

Check it out...

Im either going to install with sheet metal inset screws or glue, most likely screws.

Awesome badges.I think I'd put them on some kind of backing before I installed them.Maybe a thin,yet harder rubber material.Pics of the gas lid are needed as well.

I agree with Vinnie, I think I would install them on some sort of backing, maybe a black plastic. Then I think I would install the lot with urethane tape.

Any chance of anyone purchasing a set of these?

Pics of the gas lid are definitely needed!
Been wanting to see how this looks on a 4-Eye.

Yikes!! So many questions. They are 17X8 up front and 17X10 in the rear. If you do a search, I posted the link to where I purchased them and everything.

Looks great.I've had my gas lid (like yours) for about 6 years now,and really like it.It was natural finish on my blue car,and I had it painted to match on the Sport.The painted version looks a lot better.On the blue Bird,it looked like a big silver dot on the side.distracting in a bad way.Painted version,much cleaner.I like where you're going with your project.Very nice !!!!

I had them made. They cost me a pretty penny for the set, but they are different. Now that he has the dimensions in the system.I  can make either 86 TC size or the 87-88 size. If I get enough interest I will produce more of them.

Your badges look great! Your cars going to look bad ass when you get it painted. I was actually looking at those wheels in a magazine and wondering how they'ed look on mine. They look great on yours that's for sure!
