    I decided to try this temporarily, need opinions on whether its cool or un. Car is a stock black 99 GTP coupe (with plenty of other appearance issues, yep) and what you're seeing is a "supercharged" hood vent emblem from a 40th GTP stuck over a "GP 40th anniversary" emblem so it covers the "40th anniversary" part. You can see where I blacked the anni letters underneath. If people like this like I do, I'll go ahead and grind the anni letters out of the bottom part so the supercharged script sinks in more. Might look good with red letters on the supercharged part, what do you think?

    Just removed the original "GRAND PRIX" script and tried this since I have a wrecked 40th to play with. I know I need tail lights, paint, etc!



    All Grand Prix, all the time. 69 Model J, 99 GT & GTP coupes. All junk, haha.

    Like it would be OK in a different spot? I sorta guessed, but thats the approx location they mount on a 40th.

    To me it is just too large. I prefer little to no badging though.

    Likewise. Its kinda cartoony size, this is why I ask for input. Still on the fence about whether to keep door emblems...

    OK then! Brazilian GP it is, except for the front arrowhead. Planning to paint and swap on a 40th decklid and spoiler anyway. Thanks for the input, gents.
