I've got a full set of Lariat F150 emblems I'm getting ready to paint, but may be the middle of October before I get a free weekend to do them. Not sure if you're wanting to wait that long, but it's an option.

I plastic dipped my front and rear emblems. Same truck OP has. Mildly taped off areas and sprayed 6 coats. I've been through the car wash a few times and no problems so far. I can take better close ups tomorrow if you want.

Plastidipped front only. I did the back but I didn't like it. The Ford Blue looked better. As for the side F150 emblems I kept the chrome. I plastidipped it before but I still prefer some bling. When all the emblems were blacked out it was too rough country for me. Now I think it just has the right amount of rough country and the right amount of class when I pull into a valet.

Thanks Rebel!

Just has a 2" Traxxis level with 285/65/18 Trail Grapplers. The Aries Bull Bar saved the front end today. I was going down a little ditch and the bull bar scrapped a bit. I backed off and increased the angle and cleared the ditch. Else I might of likely scrapped the front bumper.

The front LED is a 22.5" unit I bought from Amazon. Fits nicely on the middle bar of the Aries BBar. It's pretty bright at night lol.

I'm trying to figure out my next mod. Business has been slow lately so I'm holding off on the lift kit. Might either do a block in the back (1 or 2 inch) or an Iron Cross Patriot Running Board.

Black plasti dip, with plasti dip gloss, and an exacto knife, and this is what I got.

No need for exacto knives. It will tear off well enough along the oval edges. Even the Ford lettering will come off without cutting. But if you do need a cutting edge use a credit card or something to just press down on the edge where u want to tear.
