If you like it, that's all that really matters. I don't see anything wrong with it - it's all simply personal preference.

It doesnt look bad, but does it rub your hood?? Looks a little close... Different is good.

Still need to see a further-back, normal-lens shot of the front end without distortion. I think many will see it's not that big. If you think about it, visually it's only about as large as the Mustang emblem it replaces and it shows off the fine details of the Snake badge real nice. Considering the louder than usual exhaust tone of a stock Cobra (more so with an O/R X-pipe) I'd think it wouldn't be so bad to be "IN THEIR FACE" as well as "IN THEIR EAR"!! Kinda like a getting the police lightbar just before the siren blows by you. :beer:

for the people that doesnt like it... it looks about the same size as the horse.

I give you probs for being unique and creative... people have been asking for a larger snake, well.. here you go. I'll reserve final judgement on whether if its too large after seeing more pics (zoom out please)

Hey, whats up Chuck. I'll have to get some further away pictures, its really not as big as everyone thinks, and the dude that said if my engine overheats???? wtf lol, i didn't like block the entire grill and seal it closed lol, as previously said, its no bigger than the mustang horse that came stock. I just think the old cobra emblem was wayyyyyy too small. Its not so much of a bling thing, i was just in need of a new emblem, the old one was all torn up. Figured i'd try and throw on the new cobra emblem, i love it, doesn't rub the hood or anything when closed, fits absolutely perfect.

How much did the new emblem run ya? I like it... It's a nice way to make the cobra stand out. I have the SS Cobra lettering in the back, might as well make the cobra stand out in the front too!

What kind of modifications did you have to make to the front mounting bracket?

I am in the process of installing one on my '03. It looks great, IMO.....

Good deal...please post pics of front with new 'Snake from a distance...so we can see it without the wide-angle distortion above.

It looks ok...but if it were alittle smaller kinda in between the Shelby size and original it would look good IMHO

I thought the same thing when I looked at pictures of the car in the first post of this thread, but I decided to do it myself anyway. I am glad I did. It looks great in person, and is the perfect size for the large open grill on our cars, IMO. :coolman:

I am doing the same but am giong to use the side emblem instead of the grill one. There is about 1/2 inch of space above and below the emblem and actualy more by the hood because of the hood curve. CJpony parts cant sell the 07 emblems any more because of ford BS. From the dealer the emblem was about $60. with tax
