Depends who you buy them from.... Ebay and CTS are expensive for what you get.

They are a real bitch. I wish someone would make a simple, clean looking badge without the trim level.

I was just about to tell you the holes are 7 3/4" apart, at the widest point. They are also just under 1" tall.

When I removed mine, I used fishing line to go under the emblem as much as possible (until you hit the clip). Then I would also go from the top with the fishing line under each of the F150 characters. Once I got to that point, I raised my hood and pressed the clip together with my fingers as I slowly pulled from the same side. After the clip came through, I put the fishing line on the other side of the clip until I hit the alignment pin. Then went around the alignment pin and worked my way to the other alignment pin.

It really wasn't that bad. Just takes a little patience and 10 minutes of work per side.
