I had the Lincoln badge on my tailgate for a while. I put it where the flex fuel emblem is located on the other trucks. The look wasn't working for me because the emblem was too small. I had to do something with it so I stuck it on my intercooler for the time being.

I covered mine with the overlays I made in my avatar.

Putting it right under the F 150 on the front fender is just about perfect for me. It's discrete, but still identifiable as an EB when you are parked next to it at a light for instance......

That location looked a bit busy to me and the badge still a little too small. But everyone's taste is different.

I guess I prefer the stealth look, because I don't like emblems on the doors either. I just bought a different emblem that I found on Ebay that I'm going to try on my tailgate. Hopefully that works or it will be a waste of another $14.

Care to share what you found? I just put the MKZ badge on my truck last night....I think it's too small as well, but I'm gonna keep it on a few days and see if I change my mind before taking it off.
To the OP, nice find! I wish you could get it with a black background and chrome letters (opposite of the pic)

It's the black version of the "Turbocharged" emblem the OP posted on page 1 of this thread. I don't have any chrome on my truck so I didn't want to add any.
I would have liked to have an emblem that said Twin Turbo but I agree with HardCore FX4 about the "3.5L Twin Turbo" emblem. The 3.5L part of that emblem isn't too appealing.

I don't "HATE" my Ecoboost badges, but I do like those "Twin Turbo" ones better. Hmmm.....

Reminds me of the '95-97 powerstroke emblems. I could go with that.
