Put the sticker on first then PD the entire emblem then you can peel it off the sticker. The vinyl decal should leave enough gap if not you can run a blade around it.

Does your emblem have the groove around the lettering or is it flush? If you have the grove you can do some pretty cool stuff with PD

I really like that! If you could do the Ford in the emblem in red it would be perfect!

Thanks. I want to try but it's a solid emblem so it'd require a lot of tape and finesss lol

I didnt want to spend the money on 2013 Limited emblems ($ http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-Ford-F-150-LIMITED-Fender-Emblems-/141392763650?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20ebaa5b02&vxp=mtr) so I made my own.



Clipped them with tin snips and then bench grinder made the plastic melt and filled in the gaps, then file, finally sanded. I still used more filler on the gaps where the rest of the emblem was.
