ok im planning on getting some silver heritage stripes this winter for my RS.i love the look of them and decided it necessary to have them.now my question deals with a sort of "conversion".i was thinking that it might be cool to get some 25th anniversary decals to also get for the car,despite it being a 91,not a 92.i just think that although they are small details,they do add a little bit of character.i would only get the correct ones and put them in the correct places,so it would look factory.what do you guys think?the way i see it people put 4th gen stuff onto their cars for looks,so what would be so wrong in doing this?thanks for any replies!

Put 30th anniversary decals on! That way everyone (with a clue) will know you are just messin around.

Seriously, tho. I suppose anyone looking at your VIN will know better.

 

I dont see a problem as long as your honest when or if you sell it. If you like the looks of the stripe kit go for it. I personally never cared for them but its your car so do what you want.

 

It's your car, you could put Mustang emblems on it if that's what you like. If it's my opinion you're asking for, then no, I wouldn't badge a car as something it isn't. If it's a '91, then nothing you could add to it will make it a '92. I am speaking of the anniversary badges of course. Stripes can be put on any car, regardless of model year, so I'd go for the stripes, but not the badges.

 

I would have to agree with the point, go ahead and put whatever you want on, but don't sell it to a person making them think it's a 25th anniversary.

First things first, this isn't really history or restoration, so I'm moving your thread to the appearance forum.

Second, do what you want to your car, but by applying 25th anniversary badges you're claiming your car is something that it is not. Anyone that knows better will be left wondering what else you're trying to pull over.

I think the stripes are fine, but why waste money on the 25th badging?

 

I wouldn't badge anything the wrong year. You are just asking for it. I had a 93 corvette that was not a 30th Anniversary edition, but I put 30th Anniversary badges on it and noone gave me grief at the shows because it was the correct year. Most people thought it was cool and knew my intention wasn't to fool anyone or be deceptive, just dress the car up.

I would put the stipes on, but not the decals. It just wouldn't seem right if a 91 had 25th anniversary emblems on it. There are better ways to "add character" then to put wrong emblems on.

I think the stripes would look great, that'd be a good color combo. I dunno about badges though, i mean, it would be an inside thing that people who know cars could spot, but how they'll react is hard to tell. Its your car though, i wouldn't give ya much crap about doing them, but i prolly wouldn't on my own car.

Yeah, like the 4th gen I saw with IROC door decals!

Hey, I have an RS dash badge from a '92. It says 'RS' and under that it says '25th anniversary' even though my car is a '91. Eventually I want to file down the '25th' lettering and replace that part with '5.7L Tuned Port Injection' or what ever displacement/induction combo I end up with.

get some custom 24th anniversary decals made

I say go for the stripes, but leave the 25th anniversary badges to for a real 25th anniversary. I do have to agree though, if you sell it, make sure to tell the buyer. And then the buyers gonna think you're tryin to pull somethin anyway, so I wouldn't do it.
