It's a saleen grill and you can get them directly from saleen. There is a little FX4 decal in there, I had patriotdecals.com make a vinyl decal in the spot where the saleen badge normally goes.



The only experience I have with body work is the experimenting I've done on my own, but I can give you a quick and easy synopsis of what I did. I taped off the ford oval while it was on the gate and scuffed it up with 320 then hit it with adhesion promoter and krylon fusion satin black. Ordered up a vinyl overlay for the emblem and stuck that on.

The F150 badges were only a pain during the prep. A bit of patience and a razor made it possible to tape off the black letters and I did the same process on the chromed part. Scuffed it up, adhesion promoter, paint. Be sure to use wax and grease remover in between the steps. I used a can of dark shadow grey spray paint I saw at the local parts store. Here's a little before and after:




I'm not one for long winded answers so here ya go lol:

Got the emblem overlay from patriotdecals.com, webxtremes.com also sells a variety of vinyl overlays. Got the el cheapo black headlights off amazon.com, pulled them apart and nightshaded the amber reflector and painted the little chrome cap black. Got the bilsteins from shockwarehouse.com

I'd consider it an OEM part since it's made by saleen. So just remove the bolts and pretend your putting the old one back on and you'll be ready to rock.

So to answer your question.. it's simple! Will take you about 20 minutes if you take your time

Where did you get those new ford fx4 emblems. those are the same style as the 2010 right? I have been looking everywhere for them but can only find xlt and platinum
