I just bought this car, and I was really turned off by the stripe but it’s starting to grow on me. I’m getting paint correction and it ceramic coated next week, so I need to make my mind up.
Does anyone know if the car has the correct pin location for 5.0 badges under the stripe? Has anyone removed it, and like it, don’t like it?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! The last Mustang I owned was a 90 LX 5.0 and that was 25 years ago so I’m excited to be back in the saddle again. Thanks!

If there are no emblems on the fender, there are no holes.

The GT350 has different front fenders than the other Mustang variants. You may want to check in the other forums?

Wow thats interesting! I never noticed the newer C/S cars didnt have 5.0 Emblems. As was said earlier with no emblems it probably doesnt have locator pins under the stripe.

What did you decide? I too have mixed feelings about the side stripe.

So did you have to eyeball or measure where to put your 5.0 badges?

When I Google California Special Mustang, I see some versions with 5.0 on the fender and a rocker stripe. 15-17?

Conversely, I want to remove the 5.0 badges and install the side stripes to cover the holes…..

Damn, your car looks reeeeeeealy good! The wheels are just the right combination of bling and black, I guess I've never paid attention before
Thanks man, I appreciate it. I like the wheels, but wish they were wider. Probably going to switch them out with some GT350 replicas when the tires need replacing, so I can get wider tires. I almost killed myself last week on these skinny pzero’s in drag mode with advancetrac off lol
