After a while of being in need of a new cobra grill emblem, I decided to order up the 07 Shelby Cobra grill emblem, and with some slight modification to my old grill bracket, fixed it on up, and slapped on the shelby emblem. Huge difference in my opinion, put the old emblem next to the new one for the pictures, thing is dwarfed by the shelby cobra. I'm happy with it, what cha think...

i think it looks like shit. too big and gaudy for my taste. i like how the cobras are somewhat small and understated.

it looks alright.. i think the original snake looks better. That is oversized just like the Shelby.

a little big for me as well. but at least it's something new and provides another option for others who like it over the smaller emblem.

Actually, I think it looks pretty good because the original small size gets lost. The larger one somehow looks like it belongs there and divides the grill area up in balanced way.. Of course, somewhere in between would be perfect....but what else is new?? Do you have any front shots a bit further back... without the wide angle distortion??

I hate to say it man...2 thumbs down. I don't even like the smaller snake. There is such a thing as having TOO MANY Cobra indicators on these cars.

Well

If YOU like it, thats what matters.

But...since you asked for opinions, I think its way too much. I like the smaller snake better, that one looks like you are trying too hard.

:thumbsup: I like it. Our cars need something big and bold up front. It does to the front what the huge COBRA letters do for the back.

Exactly, just wanted to see what others thought, I love it either way, the oem cobra snake just looked so tiny and lost in there, the Shelby one fit so perfect, seems like it was made fit

Oddly enough, I kinda like it and usually I don't go fot "bling". I'd like to see some farther back shots too though.

I think different body colors could makea difference too w/ something like that too. I think it would looks sick on a black Cobra!

X2, it might look better when you see the whole picture.


I don't care for the huge side emblems on the new Shelby's either, they remind me of the big pie plate Cadillac logos that the Escalades used to have on the back.
