That looks great!
That is pretty expensive for couple of badges, but that is some quality stuff right there.
I would actually consider doing this... is this something you feel was well worth the money and would do it again? anything you wish you would have done differently with the design?
Thanks for posting!

Thanks. They are expensive but being fully custom billet aluminum badges, they aren't going to be cheap any way you slice it.
Is it worth it? Depends on your affinity for the stock fender badges. I personally can't stand them, huge and chrome, a big eye sore. Now that they are on I would pay double if I had to. Ideally, I would not have any badges on the fender at all, but we don't have that choice since there are 4 big holes behind it. Design wise, I went back and forth on the colors, but knew I wanted to have the font match the F150 embossed in the tailgate. Thought about doing the outside of the badge the color of the truck and have the milled letters done black. I wanted something sleek and that did not stand out so I went with what you see. Nice thing is if you want to change it up they are easy to pull off and send off for a color change.
I have had the truck for a year and because of the price, like you mentioned, kept pushing it off while doing other stuff to the truck. Now that they are on I wish I had done it from day one.
I made up 2 concepts today... I have a 2018 V8 and it has the rattle sound on deceleration, so I'm thinking the engine should be called the "Rattlesnake" instead of the "Coyote"
Which of the 2 concepts does everyone like?
I finally got around to getting my badges on. It took Billet Badges 6 months to complete them! Kind of a joke in regards to the build time especially when you consider how expensive they are, but they do look good.

Those look really good. Job well done. Question...the front and rear emblems are just flat and attach with 3M adhesive, correct? I am considering doing something similar but was a little concerned about the front emblem in particular with it being glued to plastic rather than having a mechanical fastener like the OEM emblem. That's an awful lot of money to have go zinging down the highway!

The Ford ovals have threaded holes in the back and include studs and nuts so that they can be bolted on if desired.
I did the same, just with a different design. Looks SO much better and is far easier to clean around! I also got their front/rear Ford emblems to match in the brushed carbon finish.
Mine will be similar...the color scheme will match my front and rear badges though. We’re past the design phase...waiting on production now.
