The right badges and decals are what make onlookers nod. Here is how to finish your restoration correctly.
Badges, emblems and decals are small, but they are the details enthusiasts check first. Correct model badges, engine call-outs and stripe kits are the difference between "nicely restored" and "spot on".
Match the year and model exactly
Badge styles and placements changed year to year. Use factory photos or a build reference to get the right emblems in the right spots — a later badge on an earlier car is the kind of thing that gets noticed at a show.
Fit last, fit clean
Apply decals and badges to fully cured paint, measure placement twice, and clean the surface first. Take your time here — it is the final flourish on months of work.
