Yes the hole in the nose is filled so i was going to order a nose emblem, shave the tabs off of it, and attach it with adhesive, but normally it goes in a slight hole in the nose , so i was thinking if i do it this way it mar be popping out too much, i dont know how deep the stock hole is or how thick the emblem is so what do you guys think, will it be noticeable or ugly????

 

This is only my , but I would say that it'd be tacky; maybe someone would be willing to take some measurements for you so you know where to cut on your nose (if you want to go that route), but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a response on that.

I might be able to get something for you tomorrow morning since my car is being taken apart for restoration, but I'm making no promises. I'll do what I can, though.

Stock nose has a recess about 1/16 inch. About any emblem tape is another 1/16 thick so you'd have about a 1/8 inch raise, wouldn't look right I'm thinking.

 

There you have it, Gr89RS

Hmm i dont have much choice do I???

 

What about doubling the depth to account for the tape? I don't know how thick the nose is, but that might be an option.

im not getting your drift , remember i dont have a hole in the nose, its filled in!!

 

Yeah, I know. I thought you were considering cutting the nose to fit the emblem, though; simply attaching the emblem to the nose as-is would be horribly tacky IMHO.

oh never mind, i forgot that you said to maybe cut the nose...oops... but how would i go about doing this without messing up the paint around the area?????

 

You wouldn't

O so i guess ill just go the route of having an extra 1/8th inch popping out....ill get some pics up...may be a few weeks though because i got to order the emblem...i could always leave the emblem off but i personally think it adds more "personality" for lack of a better word !!!!

 

To each his/her own, right? That's what it's all about
