carmotorsports emblems

[napolitano]

need your help with this three piece emblem set I just got from motorsports. If anyone has the gril emblem, how did you put it on because the tab on the grill is raised so high it makes the emblem stick far out. Yhen the steering wheel badge is just supposed to stick right over the original waterfall emblem. I guess I was just hoping for something a little more factory looking instead of a peel and stickon. Any suggestions or am i doing this wrong.

Not 100% sure but I believe you need to use a dremel to get the grille badge to fit flush.

Not sure about the other 2. But so many people have these that I'm sure your question will be answered in no time!

thanks Doom for your always helpful advice. I might get one of those $95 grills if I have to use a dremil to modify it.

I think it has to have the center cut out with a hole saw.

I believe you remove oem badge and use 3M two sided tape to afix the new one. I don't believe the CMS ones have the screw tab

When they were first designed and manufactured, there was a thread that described the installation process. The rear is basically a removal of the old one and stick the replacement on. The steering wheel is just a peel and stick. The front one entailed removal of the original and drilling out the center of the mounting flange, then sticking on the replacement. The large emblems in the kit should hava a flat one, a curved one, and a small one with a dome recess on the back side. The large curved one goes on the trunk lid. I'll search for the original thread, but it may not have the pics any more due to site upgrades through the years in which the photo galleries got corrupted and lost.

Your help is appreciated Fordnut. I'll order an extra grill and use that one for the god'shead emblem.
