My new "Turbo Coupe" badges

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...

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?

Im either going with Cobra blue or white. I was going to go black because is looks super mean but the interior is raven blue and it gets hot here in Southern California

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 !!!!
