Better than that. It's a genuine Ford emblem,and there will only be paint in the recessed areas of the intakes "fins".All off the rest of the visible areas will just be polished. Like I said,in my mind,it looks awesome,like Ford could've done it that way, but in reality,I may be setting myself up for disappointment......Nah,failure is NOT an opyion.I will make it happen.

Hahaha! You guys are too much!! I'm sure whatever you're doing it'll look great!

I've made mine look a little different as well. I have the regular H.O. upper but I polished it and got a plain stainless steel cover on it, but before I put it on I mounted a sailpanel emblem on it. It looks like it should be there.

Sounds nice,post up a new pic..I had thought about placing a Bird emblem on my intake plate,but decided to leave it alone and let it "blend".

lol the bird would be sweet.... I could custom make an aluminum plate for mine pretty easily i just have to bend it right and cut it perfect.... may take a couple trims but with aluminum itll be easy, then put a emblem on it unlike any other.

Here's a pic from a couple of years ago. When I detail it I'll get some new pics to post. You might have to zoom in on it to it. I'll get better pics soon.

It helped my Sport stiffen up.I got my strut tower brace for nearly free.I repainted it right after I installed the engine a month or so ago.I can still swap heads and the intake without moving it.
