Title: FE glove box badge - painted red?
Post by: texmorton on March 12, 2024, 08:04:01 PM
G'day,

Quick question as I can't find the answer in searches. Is an FE glove box badge background painted red from factory?

My memory says that the "S" section in Special had black paint fill.

I agree Dr Terry, I have one in really good condition and the background behind the S is black.
