My emblems are actually plastidip with the overlays, the Ford ovals and the F150 letters. You need a 6" decal for a 7" emblem and the 8" decal for the 9" emblem:

Default Better check with your state first before tinting

Some states don't allow any other color but red for t/lamps & 3rd brake lights. Better check before doing this with your local authorities, or risk getting a ticket

^^Thank you for that.....I think. This thread is about modifications. There is no law stating that you even have to have a 3rd brake light, so tinting one isnt an issue.

Actually
Federal law mandates that you cannot operate any vehicle manufactured after 1986, or small truck manufactured after 1994, without the third-brake light working correctly. The third-brake light is just as important as the right and left brake light.
This is a Federal law, meaning it does not vary state by state. Just because your own town/county cops may be ignoring something doesn't mean a cop next county over will.

Replaced my map and dome lights, wouldn't really consider this a "mod" but the white LEDs give a much sharper look to the interior. From Amazon, $19 for an LED replacement light "kit" (reverse lights, third tail light, map and dome) and a two plastic prying tools:

FrozenTundraGuy & TheJcode, did you guys come to this thread to add anything, or to flex your law degrees? Please add something useful. Like this:

LED cupholder mod, made with transformers and led bulbs from old outdoor Christmas lights (cost of 1 strand is about $7):
