Default Painted emblems ..

Heard horror stories about removing the fender emblems. .. turns out everyone was right ! They came off in pieces and a hear gun was a huge help. Painted emblems black with silver overlay then cleared them. Removed tailgate emblem and had the Ford ovals painted but waiting for my new grill to be finished from fabricator before installing them. ..

Looks good. By pieces do you mean that each letter or number is its own piece

If like mine the "pieces" went in to the garbage can....

The side emblems are one piece.

No, they were done by my fabricator in Kansas City .

The grill is a sport Lariet that has been heavily modified. Had the top and bottom bars cut down and flipped around . The center bar was lifted on ends so that the bar is flush with headlight trim. Very similar to Shelby grill but with ford emblem and different style mesh. Wanted to have a grill that you didn't see much and put my buddy up for a challenge ")

Ah, OK. Sorry. I've done so many opposite color schemes like that on ovals. Thought you might've been one of them
