Hood emblem male connector or female?

iamcc88 · 04-21-2023, 08:00 PM

I’m looking to replace my hood emblem with the 50 Year Anniversary one. It’s asking me when I order if the backside has male connectors or female. Does anyone know so I don’t have to pull off my existing one before I order?

Thanks!

It's asking if you need the female plugs that go in the holes to receive the male pins on the emblem. The hood has two holes in it. These holes need plastic inserts that emblem plugs into. Most of the time the roundel will come out and these plastic plugs will remain.

The front and rear grommets are different sizes so if you need them, make sure you order the right ones.
