Anyone replace their badges on their truck, or paint them?

My badges are looking pretty dull, from what I have read that the ones on the fenders have the pin holes in the fenders. Has anyone replaced them with newer badges? Or repaint them? Or do they make decal overlays? Pics would be great. I really want to make them look nice again.

eBay is probably the cheapest place to get them. and instead of buying them as a set buy them individually off eBay is cheaper as well. I priced them out on there but never bought them

Is there any modifications to be done, or does it fit in the same holes?

So do they have holes in the fenders? If so, I guess the 09s fit with no mods? Or are they just 3m tape?

No you have to grind or the the pins off the back of them when you get them.. there's 3m tape on the back. They'll cover the fender holes fine if you line them up perfectly. As for the tailgate emblem, its meant to fit a curved tailgate. Therefore I had to literally grind the left side of the F and the right side of the 0 so it would sit flat with my tailgate. I got a used one from eBay so there was no tape on the back.. I had to use liquid 3m tape..

For the link, http://www.fordemblem.com/f150/ I got mine for about $10 cheaper but forget the website.. they'll all be around this price anyway

I got my set of '09+ Lariat badges off Ebay too. I used one stock hole, and drilled out the fender for the second. Black and chrome matched my truck, so I did not paint nor plasti-dip them. I kept the Triton V8 badge underneath, though, and even added it under the new one for the tailgate. Came out to about $100 for the 3 including shipping. Looks good on our Gen 10 trucks!
