Your car your decision, but I feel it looks unfinished and lacking detail with out the emblems. If you do put them back on, I'll vote for the crossflags over the medalion every time.

Look into the 77/79 flags. They should drop directly in place of the big 78 SA medallions.

Where did you get the script? I like the look. Do you have any pics showing more of the car with that lettering visible?

Blasphemy would be putting Mustang emblems on.

Needs the Emblems, I went with crossed flag emblem for the front. Our 73's have the same flags emblem on the gas tank door. C.

i'm a big proponent of leaving things stock.
if it came with it, it should stay.

that being said, if i had to change anything on my 82, it would be the 'fuel injection' badge. i'd go for one off a 77-79, but that's just me.
