Keep the SS badges. That just reminds me of the mustangs with 5.0s on the side.

They are awesome cars until a trans gear strips at under 5k miles due to improper hardening and Ford denies warranty work. Search my screen name there is a very long thread on the matter. Also Jalopnik ran an article and even the Ford boards have threads on the issue. It was not an isolated incident. Loved the car, but **** FORD for pissing on their customers.

She's an old fat bitch that gives me hell and seems to fall apart every other month....but I love her.

Just can't let it go, turned down several offers a normal person probably would have taken.

The rest of your car is clean though. Besides you already have LS1 in the hockey stripes...adding liter badges to the side of the car is not only redundant, but will also start to make things cluttered.

In the end it is your car, but it's nice enough I would leave it alone. "A good artist knows when to stop"

Too many tasteful mods quickly become a downfall.

I would just peel off the L S 1 decal in your hockey stripe and put the 5.7 there or just leave your car the way it is.
