Need emblem opinions.

So, as you can see by the picture below, my Cragar grille has a spot for an emblem. On the Cragar truck, it says something to the effect of "Cragar - Special Edition" on it, and its square. I'd like to put a badge there of the same size and have it custom made, but I really have no idea what to put on it.

Was wondering if any of you could garner up some ideas for me to think about.

I think a ford logo would look good there. Something different, off center. Choose the right size.

That looks like a Saleen grille, maybe one of their badges can fit in there.

Pretty sure thats a Saleen grill, but if you decide to put a an emblem on it id go with bottom right like they are made.

It's defiantly not a Saleen grille. Saleen's 2 verticals are angled, whereas the Cragar has 3, 90 degree vertical bars. Very similar, yes... but not identical.





Personally, I think its the best grille out there because it's so rare =)

Don't want to go with Saleen or Cragar or anything like that because my truck isn't one of those (no offense to those who decide to use those badges on other models.)

I'd agree with everyone else and say go with a small Ford emblem . BTW, wheels look great and familiar

I would throw your ford logo right in the center of that thing, I think it would look awesome and drive people crazy. People will want to think it is stock but have never seen anything like it before. I am willing to bet people will ask you "Is that Stock." My brother put his Ford Emblem back in the middle after installing a billet grill on his 94 Eddie Bauer Bronco and even though we are talking 2 totally different trucks and grilles, it looks tottally awesome. Give it a shot.
