Nice seats !!! I like them,but take those god-for-saken emblems off of the dash. They really mess up the look of an otherwise great looking interior. The ricer emblem stick-on look just doesn't work well with these cars. Nice seats though.

Looks nice.... add the upper door panels and I think it will look like it could have come that way.

I personally never liked redundant badges......meaning,like the gauge cluster in the pic above,placing a big chrome Bird on the cluster when there's already a Thunderbird emblem on the steering wheel.Too much. Almost like you found a box of emblems and some double sided tape and was REALLY bored. Now,after saying that,I also have to say,that,it is your car,and your decision. Personally, If I go a little "too far",I HOPE that my fellow enthusiasts here will call me on it.Sometimes it's good to have outside opinions,because we often don't see what others can see. To summarize......the badges have to go.

I actually took all mine off. The only thing going back on, are the emblems by the quarter windows.

I removed the factory "Thunderbird" script from the trunk and added a new one from a 2005 model Bird.The sail panels have the factory installed Birds,then,the small Hurst Equipped badge.....because it is.....Hurst equipped. Looks factory installed. Because the dash is in a contained area,and the flat surfaces aren't that big,big badges look even larger,and more out of place.

Me too. We're all in it together,and good or bad,we stick together for the most part.I am always proud of my two best friends locally.Brutally honest,and I appreciate that.
