LOBO logo

[Buggy Man]

Back in the day if you had a special model of car the manufacturer put a special badge on the car. Badges like "GT", "Cyclone", Grand Sport" were proudly displayed on the outside and interior.

Maverick has a small badge depicting the model on the front fenders but why not on the tailgate?
So yesterday I went to the CHROME SHOP in Wildwood Florida off I75 to see if I could have some graphics made for the Mav. The gentleman spent considerable time in getting the right font and making it as close to the fender badge without making a blatant copy of the lettering (that might be copy righted).
I made a copy on clear plastic using the template to get an idea of where the graphics should be located.

The letters are laser cut from black acrylic and are 0.125 " thick with an adhesive backing.
If anyone is interested I can supply contact information or JUST search for "75 CHROME SHOP"

IF THEY OFFERED TWO FOR THE PIICE OF ONE IT WOULD A: LOBO LOGO BOGO-----Sorry, I couldn't resist that.

I'd appreciate any comments (good or bad).

I finally got around to look at the "LOBO logo" again. I wanted to try different positions for the logo. I also trimmed the clear plastic so it wouldn't detract from the visual. Just about ready to stick 'em on..
So, lower driver's side OR lower passenger's side - what do you think?
Would appreciate comments.

Lower passenger for sure!

Yea, I was leaning that way.
I remember cars like the GTO, Grand Sport, 442, had the badge on the passenger side.
Thanks. Lets see how many votes I get.

Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it. Will probably install the LOBO logo next week - (if we get some cooler weather).
Will post pictures.

I would center it on the lower panel next to the hitch opposite the license plate.

Ty for posting your VB with Black tailgate letters, I'm trying to decide.
I'm leaning towards forged carbon fiber right now. Black looks good, and I think i want to keep that Black+Blue theme, especially with how it matches the blacked out Ford logo.
I just like the subtle difference of the forged cf letters (however, I don't like the look of 'traditional' cf weave that they also offer)

I like the idea of the Lobo emblem, I'd like to see one 'raised' like the Maverick lettering though.
I may even see if I can have a custom one made as: WOLF w0lf Wolf -- maybe not.

I'm trying to find something like: https://www.amazon.com/2015-2016-Ford-Lariat-Passenger-GL3Z16720G/dp/B01C69MJVU but in all Black chrome? and no XLT/Lariat stuff. And not for $133...
Hmmm maybe even more subtle: Wolf Head Emblem Wolf Head Badge 3D Logo

Looking at your mock up, I'd personally consider offsetting it to the left some. But thats just my initial thought seeing it.

Here are the ones I used.

Nice, and you got the White version.

I actually like the black, and am curious to see how it looks on top of Velocity Blue.
But, as a tailgate sticker instead of door(s).
Ty for the idea.

And, you got he best custom plate for the Lobo, especially if Lowered.

Are we the only 2 Lobos in CO?

r0tax,
It is actually flat black. Picture was at a weird angle. I think we may be the only two Maverick’s worth looking at in Colorado.
