Default Eco Owners - that hate their eco badges

Check out what i just found on ebay. height and width are smaller than the stock badge. I have to say it doesn't look as "ECO" friendly as the stock badge. I think i might go with them and thought i would throw this out to everybody. you could probably even paint to match whatever. I'm sure these are sold seperately-(1 badge is $7.95) Sorry if the picture of the badges doesn't work. I don't post enough to learn.

Just got a pair of them, put them above the f150 label on the fender. They are nice quality and look good.
I'm not affiliated with the seller.

I wish they had one that just said "Twin Turbo" The 3.5L Part doesn't appeal to me because I don't think it's that interesting of a displacement.

how about this?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-TURBOCHARGED-TURBO-CHARGED-ENGINE-FENDER-HOOD-EMBLEMS-BADGE-SILVER-RED-PAIR-/360454482662?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item53ecc2eae6&vxp=mtr

crazy what you can find on ebay. I agree with the small displacement. But when you pull up next to something with twice that and spank it. You'll know what counts.

Still looks good, especially when you blow the doors off a 7.4l and now they know by what.

I just took mine off, bought some off of the taurus rear deck lid (they are much smaller black labels that say ecoboost) and put them under my f150 badges. I like the look much better, I think they have some threads floating around here of some people that did it also. I got the idea waiting to custom order mine and seeing it on the showroom floor and thought "Hey Jack!"

I don't care for the Eco badges either. I do like those twin turbo badges. I think ford should've gone that route with this truck. Maybe there would be less MPG threads.

On a side note, I made this plate for my truck.



The only thing I've added is black caps over the bolts.

True enough, I did not like the BIG door badges...both for their size and the coloring. I did however still want my truck to be identified as an EcoBoost.
Lincoln, for their MKZ, makes some nice black small badges that I think go nicely under the F 150 on the front fender:

I like that...took mine off. Would still like to have something there though...but those door badges are just to big
