Look what I just picked up !!!

I drew these up some time ago and had them made. I've been waiting for a while, but now they are done. I wanted something different for my Cobra intake instead of the same old "Cobra" badge that everyone has. I'll probably go with the FPR design and store the FPV design away in a safe place. No, not installed yet. I'm waiting til after the paint and engine detailing is done......again......What do you guys think?

They are adhesive backed badges and should look good under the hood. Best part. ALL MINE. Made for MY Sport. After I picked them up, the Sport seemed really happy and decided to show an '04 Stang the tail lights. Hey, they gotta learn. LOL. All I gotta do is show a little love. She knows.

I am a Ford man and like to think I'm somewhat knowledgable on cars, but what does FPR stand for?  I assume FPV is Ford Performance Vehicles but have never heard of FPR.  Is this before the days of SVT?

I really like the FPV one, i think the font used on the 5.0 seals the deal for me.
but both have come up really nice.

Yep, FPR is Ford Performance racing. Australian. I like them both but will, as I stated, probably use the FPR emblem until I maybe get bored and swap them. I may have a different one made for the Explorer upper I'm going to polish. Something different for it so I can swap the uppers when I want to. i have a hard time with intake manifolds.

I like the FPV better. Personal opinion of course. Vinnie you always have something secret to show to us after a long antited wait! The one thing I love about our cars, is that they are known by the model: Thunderbird, Cougar, Mustang. They are known for the name and emblem, not as a Ford or Mercury. There are very few Mercury Badges on my Cougar, and a few Ford Badges on my Thunderbird, but I want to remove the Manufacturer emblems and keep them as the Model they are and represent. I think that's something very unique for our cars. Plus I like a modified stock look, where you have to really know the car to see the differences.

I also want to remove my badges except for the cougar emblems on the grill and behind the 1/4 windows.
