Looks awesome! And I am going to copy you lol. Cleaned mine up last year with acetone to get rid of all the faded blue.

I just ordered 2 emblems the other day on ebay. They're a 97% perfect fit and I'm very happy with 'em.. The ebay salesguy goes by the name "downatthebuilding". I believe I paid $12 each plus shipping!

Why buy new when the old ones can be made to look like new for cheaper? And you don't have the pain in the azz job of having to remove them!

I agree! I tried to replicate lastnight and ended up peeling it off. I couldn't remove the dip on the lettering neatly enough and looked like crap

Oh it was a pain i peeled off both emblems at least once but only after I messed the F up so it wasn't like I got all the way to the end and goofed it. Mines not perfect it has a few mess ups here and there but only noticeable if you get right up close to it and look at it. Just be patient and take your time man it'll look great either way. Besides its always a greater feeling modding your truck yourself!

Are these overlays or actual replacement emblems? I'm looking for a black replacement ford emblem for the grill but can't find any.
Thanks!
