So I came up with another Engine intake mod. I was working on the carbon fiber cover and wasn't happy with how it was turning out. What I realized is that the blue carbon fiber is really hard to work with because it is actually carbon fiber and blue Kevlar which is some pretty tough stuff to cut and sand. and get clean edges.

Long story short I bought another intake cover off ebay for cheap and I was thinking of different mods for that and thought it might be cool to make custom emblems to replace the 5.0 Badge.

I was trying to think of some different ideas for logos and text and I'm going to try some new metallic aluminum I have for the base plate with some different color combinations. I made these with my 3D printer. The base plate is actually a carbon fiber filament which is a real close match to the texture and color of the stock cover.

What you think? Would love to hear ideas for different designs or color combinations.

I like the Ford racing ones in particular the color scheme on the left. Just make the emblem and script a wee bit smaller to give a slight border like most of the others have.
What kind of pricing were you thinking for these? If reasonable let me be the first to put in an order....

I'd kind of like one with out the pony and two lines of text.
The top line of text would say 50 YEARS and the bottom would be, simply, 5.0.

Maybe that would be kind of a cool symmetry? Or swap the lines?

Got mine today! Thanks, man! Loving the 3D effect!

Glad you like. I have the 50th on mine and people ask me all the time if it's stock. ;)

Yep, I wanted something that will make people guess or wonder why mine looks different. Subtle mods can be the best!

These look great, Matt! :thumbsup:

So true. They attract just as much attention as the more obvious mods, sometimes more so. :D

I've had a few people ask me where to get this but I'm not a forum sponsor so I'm not going to link to it but if you do a search on ebay for:

2015 Mustang GT Engine intake cover emblem - Dress Up

you'll see it, it's the only one.

Neat, didn't realize these were 3d printed. I thought they were stickers at first. I may have an idea for a custom design, I just have to mock it up later.
