Up until now your only choice was a Ford C8 emblem or repro of the C8 emblem. The good news is Scott Drake is reproducing a thin pin C4 type emblem. The bad news is it doesn't have the C4 engineering number which is marginally visible when mounted.
It has been awhile since I ordered the emblem, and now that I think about it I am pretty sure I did order the mounting kit with it. I did order it from cobranda, and it is a Scott Drake item. I will have to dig out the box and check further for the mounting parts. Thanks for jogging my memory.
