If you can't get a Hogster badge for your Ford, then just get a Holden badge as that what it all really means.

The whole hogster thing was meant as a slap in the face to Ford. Not in a million years would I put one on my car.
However it is you car and would make an interesting conversation piece. You might get less flak from putting a Holden badge on though..... |

Your the first person I know of. IMHO your as bad as a Holden driver putting on a Chev badge, however the Holden driver is still aligning themselves with some part of the company they bought their car from. You are basically saying Fords suck.

If 888 were staying with Ford next year, I could understand why you would want one. But since they've sold out to Holden, well no way. BTW, there's one FG XR6 Turbo ute getting around in my area with a Hogster badge on it.

Justified or not, for most lovers of Ford motor cars replacing the badge like that will be considered an insult and offensive to the brand they support. If that's what you are setting out to achieve you are on the right path. V8 Supercar fans may get the novelity of it all and Holden fans will rejoice at the sight of it. Most other folk will just wonder why you are endorsing a steak house on your vehicle.
Having said all this, if having it on there means something different to you then leave it on there. Just be aware that it might draw the wrong type of attention and I would hate to see your vehicle vandalised in any way.
