Well my next weekend project just showed up! I found these red carbon fiber emblem inserts and took a chance on them. They match my paint pretty damn well! I was planning on plastidip the outer trim of my emblems black but I am going to pull them off and paint the black instead. I think this combo will like awesome and different from others! Also have some Ford emblem overlays (Black with Red) coming and will post pictures off it all on the truck soon.

Very nice, should look pretty good. I like color matched emblems. You should get some limited emblems to put them in though.

I kinda like the FX2 emblem but I could trim it off if I decide to change it up.

So my next project was to PD the tail gate. I decided to do it last night but I should have been more patient! It wasn't as cool out as I figured it would be and was more humid than I realized. So the dip didn't apply well!! It started off well but around the forth coat it started to have a fuzzy texture. I tried to work through it but no luck. I however am happy with how it looks as in what it will look like when I redo it right especially with glossifer!!

As you can see it looks bad up close!!

Once I redo this and one other mod I will clean her up and take some better pictures.
