Well, most of you have seen Mama's badgles DTR. I decided to go with the full Godshead badging on my black. I did it right after Mrs teamrope went badgless, and finally got around to taking pictures. I also blacked them out to match the rest of the car.

That sounds sweet! :up:

I used the touch up spray paint. (1 can black, 1 can clear coat) Black is an easier color to match than silver IMO.

You will have to post pictures when it's done. ;)

When you say spray paint....what exactly do you mean?

Touch up paint?

Ford part number?

I'd almost be tempted to do a GodsHead front badge if I could paint it black....


Appreciate any info....!

Hey Mark - you said "shaved" rear centercap. All you really need to do is carefully pry the entire grey plastic part off/out of it. If you leave the grey on it will "stick out" too much.

Leave the grey backing on - not the "teeth" - for the front badge because it is deeper and it will match up much better.

If you guys are going to make the badge(s) black, why not just go badgeless? Just curious. From the pics you can't tell what the blackened badge is unless you were standing a few feet from it.

Gotcha....

I shaved the teeth off but left the gray backing for the rear badge.


I'll pry the gray backing off and give it a try...thanks Andrew!

I like the GodsHead, but I like it polished.

I like the GodsHead, but I like it polished. I agree, Maybe I'm use to seeing something there, but its missing something. But you have to do what you like, not what we like.

The chrome had to go. The first time I drove home from town and met Linda driving my MM from the other way, I almost mistook it for a VW Jetta! :shot:
