Well...I did it. See for yourself.
As you know with returning my 1993 Missouri State Highway Patrol SSP to in-service condition this past March, I have been using emblems purhcased from the MSHP mounted on magnets. Well I've been through a summer displaying my SSP with the magnets and after careful consideration decided to hard mark my car.
During the project phase I went through the process of having it stripped of the DARE B&W color and returned to original white from MSHP days. So it just seemed to make sense to hard mark to avoid the inevitable clouding of the paint the magnets seem to end up doing. While it did seem to be less stressful knowing emblems on magnets were in my trunk when driving, I have some white colored magnets that seem to work well using them to cover and hide the hard marked emblems. It does seem to look pretty good hard marked, but you be the judge. The emblems were just mounted today and the weather is horrible so pardon the rushed picture without a nice pose and background. As a side note the emblems were (as ones I have on magnets) purchased directly from the MSHP supplier. Thank you.

Looks great, Mike, and glad you decided to APPLY DECALS to it.
 I'll make sure I add "hard mark" to the sites' inappropriate language filter.

Thanks gentleman for the nice comments. It was real helpful having several in-service pics of my SSP since the MSHP were not consistent in where the fender emblems were located (front to back on the fenders). Dave C./Mike C./Eric P's old 1993 MSHP SSP, for instance, had fender emblems more to the door side of fender vs. toward headlight side of fender (mine).
Thanks again!

Looks good Mike. "applying decals" to the car is the finishing touch to an SSP restoration. Glad to see you went for it.

Some how the magnetic applied decals
(at a show) makes your car like you are trying to make this MUSTANG look like a police car. but the applied to the surface says Gee .....maybe this WAS a police car??  i have found that most people have any idea that Mustangs were used by any police department. Looks good Mike!

Looks good! Did you do it yourself? Mine were done by a "professional" as I could not stand the stress of "screwing them up"
. Wonder how my old car is doing? Have more room in the garage for my tractor now. My SSP tractor that is
