Don't have to modify them for the fenders. They actually mount right up. I have watched a couple of YouTube videos on it. Basically you use a hair dryer to soften the original adhesive, you use dental floss to work the name plate off, clean off the rest of the adhesive. A body guy recommends using a finger nail so you don't scratch the paint. Finally, you clean off the truck with rubbing alcohol to remove the wax, soap, or any other build up and mount the new badges with 2 sided 3M tape.
Thanks, brother! I'm excited to get them on. It should be today or tomorrow that they're on the truck, weather depending. I was thinking about doing the tailgate, as well. But there is more modification to get it put on. So I may just paint it, as is.

I worry about how bright the emblems will be, (they're red) but just in case I'll toggle them. See how long before getting pulled over if at all.
Those letters were a pain, I didn't know of any other way to produce the R other than a hard piece of wood, sure looks good from a distance, but when you look right at it, you can tell.

I really wanted the Raptor grille, but not the 4 stupid looking O's
I saw this grille from Paramount, but I couldn't buy it, i kept checking in on it, and decided to wait for an email notification.
I stuck with my factory grille long enough and decided to buy a premium OEM grille.
Not two weeks later that Raptor grille was available, even though it said DODD I knew I could try something with it, as it was the look of the new 2017 Ford Raptor grille.
Turns out the first and third letter are removable so you could change the Font. Which as you can see I did. But not without some work and pain.

it's awesome, best looking raptor style replacement for an 11th gen I have seen.
you should either:
1. sell them
or
2. start a DIY thread and show the rest of us how to make them
looks great
