the badges are exxy, the turbo lettering alone is $50.

I'll post a pic of my rear end (debadged... of course) and you can decide if you like it... alternatively... I could take one of your pictures and photochop the badges off for ultimate clarity.

this is my car... It's been debadged since I bought it... I don't think it's visible, but theres no badges on the skirts either...

I also replaced the FORD logo with the Falcon (not to be confused with the fpv logo, although it does look similar)

as I said, if you want me to chop the badges off your car let me know.. :)

4LTURBO if u remove your badges carfully and leave some of the doublesided tape attatched u can reapply these badges with a film that 3m make available at any refinsh supply shops. Remove the excess tape off the boot with a stripe removing rubber wheel which u attach to a drill [also known as a caramel wheel]. Don't get your boot welded up buy a new one off an Xt from ford . Will probaably b cheaper in the long run and u won't have a boot full of bog and That way u still have your original boot with the wing in case u get sick of the no spoiler look

Cool - I was wondering how to do this when I sell it eventually. Currently my I have a "URBO" fridge :) The "T" fell off and I think the cat has pushed it under the fridge itself! :)

Or you could use the existing holes, still have the required number of brake lights, and give it a REAL wing

Mattson is that a DJR spoiler or an aftermarket one. If so who did you get it from and how much?

Just wanting to know what you did about the holes in your boot...?

still covered with tape... when i get around to it, im just going to buy an XT boot and get it painted up, that way i can just swap between badges and wing and none of the above....

oh, and ford_convert... i could do that, but i prefer the "less is more" approach... just because something it bigger, doesnt mean its better... just look at the boss V8's!!!

Had the same idea but bit low on cash at the moment let me know how much it all cost you and how you went with the swap. cheers...
