Pony badge on front grille

[Killshot58]

I just bought a Vapor Blue 2024 with the nite Pony package and it looks great. I sometimes think about changing the front grille pony which is currently black to another color so that it pops out a little bit. I have the red brembo brake package which complements the vapor blue very nicely.

I'm wondering how it would look if I changed out the black pony to the same color as the red brake calipers. Or maybe change it out to a Vapor Blue? Or maybe just leave it as is? Red might be a bit much. ???

If I had photo shop I could probably see each option. Has anyone here done something similar to their front badge? If so, I'd love to see some pics. I went through all of the Vapor Blue threads and did not see any red pony badges. I wish the badges were easier to change out without removing the front end.

I checked with a company that does vinyl wrapping, but they said the hoofs would present a problem. Not enough material for the vinyl to grab hold of.

I'd love some input. Thanks.

Unless you can see the pony at the same time as the wheel calipers, it can't really complement them.

I wanted everything - emblems included - as dark/black as possible. Keep it as is.

I also have vapor blue with red calipers. I did not want the night pony package. That's not for me.
That said, if I did order the night pony package, I would want to keep the 'blacked out' NPP theme unified. That's how NPP makes an impact: ALL the bright bits are black. I think changing the grille pony would detract from it.
The good news: the grille emblem is cheap and easily replaced. You can experiment and see what you like. Maybe use plasti-dip and peel it off if you don't like the red. And if you do, go with a more permanent finish.

For some reason I wanna say lethal has a blue one on theirs, not sure if they painted and replaced though.

Thanks for both of those responses. True about the red calipers not really complementing a red badge since they're not seen when viewing the front grille. I'm leaning towards leaving it as intended. Black.

Red would not look good IMO. I have a PP so the grill opening allows you access to get a small flexible head ratcheting wrench to the nuts securing the emblem. I only used 2 nuts to secure the new black horse emblem.

Seems like your badge removal is a lot easier than what I've see. on you tube. You have to remove the front end and wheel wells to gain access to the backside of the badge.

Yep. Just remove top cover and reach down. Does take a steady hand.

Wdym top cover? i havent seen a way to do it thats not removing the bumper. I have a black pony waiting to go on until i have time to drop the bumper.

What did you make it out of?

I think he’s talking about the top cover over the radiator. I believe it has push pins holding it in place and goes over the hood latch opening

If you have active shutters, you will not be able to get to it this way. Performance package cars do not.
