The badge is held on by a tape but their are two guide holes to line the emblems up in the fender and the badges obviously have the corresponding pins.





What alot of guys do as a result is black them out so they aren't so "in your face." You can also buy them blacked out too for $30. I had initally planned on doing this mod with my car but with the silver wheels i'm thinking i won't (for now) as the silver and the chome play off each other pretty well. Same with the fake gas lid GT emblem on the truck. I planned on blacking that out too but have decided to leave it alone.

You have the Brembo Package wheels, not the GT Track Pack wheels.

Here is Ford's official window sticker link, just add your VIN at the end.

Interesting. I was going to just replace the GT one with the horse version which I like better anyway.

I'm kind of bummed about that bc I thought the tp was part of brembo, not the other way around. Oh well.
