I wanted a different look for the emblems, and didn't want to spend the money for the 2013 fender emblems, so I took off the Taurus from the trunk and modified the SHO emblem using deep blood red enamel paint and clear coated.  Took the side fender emblems off and removed the inserts, filled in the Taurus logo with plastic epoxy, sanded, sprayed them with black plasti dip and reassembled.  I took the mini SHO emblems off the back doors, sanded and hand painted and clear coated them with the same red enamel I used on the trunk, then put them in the center of the fender emblems.  Pictures below.

Enjoy,
Z

Would probably look pretty sick on your black SHO.  Thanks for the comment.

excellent look for your sho. love what you did with the taurus symbol on front quarter. now if you got a few $$ laying around, since you're going w/ the blacked out look in wheel area, i'd get some gorilla black lug nuts & get a black valve stem cover. just my view, i went with that when upgraded my wheels that had black were lug nuts where.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Funny, but I was thinking the same thing myself.

Black lugs and value stems would look better.

I'm still debating on getting a Livernois Tune or just keeping it stock.  Maybe after the holidays when things settle down around.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

tom:
i went with acorn budge 1.4" as they were shortest ones that i could find. as i remember ours are 1/2". think i went to summitts site to make sure which ones fit the sho & think bought from then, spent more but z you could check around. i just wanted the shortest length ones that i could find.
