All,

I’m excited to be at this part of the build…

Looking for some Cobra badge/emblem options.

Looking for something traditional, but ideally silver(metal) and black only.

Let me know if there are any suggestions.

Thanks All

In my opinion this is the only badge that should be on these cars:

Because that's what they are ;)

Completely agree, which is good since you'll be applying them to my car. ;-)

I don't have a single badge on the car. Why should I? I know what it is and many already do too, badges are like having a bunch of gold chains around you neck.

I feel exactly the same way, why spoil the beautiful lines with trinkets. The clean look does it for me.

I couldn’t agree more, Jeff! I roll my eyes with those who plaster the Cobra emblems all over their Factory Five Roadsters. They are actually doing a disservice to Factory Five Racing. These are not AC Shelby Cobra’s and never will be. These are replica’s in the form of a Factory Five MK# Roadster, for which, that is its name! Even if I didn’t have an anniversary edition, I would still add the Factory Five badge on the hood, sides and trunk and be proud to represent what FFR created and something that I myself built. Built Not Bought - Baby! Stand proud behind that motto and trademark and represent Factory Five Racing on your ride! I’m not b!tch’n, just stating facts. Eh, it’s your car, build it the way you want.

I have that badge as the center cap of my steering wheel. I much prefer the silver and black to the red white and blue version.

To the OP's original question: Try a search for "replica shelby cobra emblems" to see what pops up. Image searches are a good way to see what is out there. Etsy sometimes has someone who has them as well.

I'm in the camp of minimal badging and didn't like the FFR steering wheel badge for its intended purpose. I'm planning on a challenge coin for the steering wheel. For your car, get what you want!

I'm with you, I didn't like the FFR steering wheel badge either so I made my own.

Definitely the only legit one.
