My 2015 is guard metallic and I’d really like to find vinyl to match it to do my chrome bumpers.
Thanks...I don't think it would be easy to find vinyl wrap that matches Guard. I ended up painting mine black, and using a black grille. You might want to check out BumperShellz. The make them for 2015-2017 and they are paintable

Hey Mike! I'm not seeing anything about being a TOTM in your signature. Sup Wit Dat?

Good idea ...But there is no room...I maxed it out a long time ago. I'll have to take out a few of the mods and put it in.

You can change "Senior Member" to "TOTM Sept. '18" or how ever you want to word it...

Thank...Done! Took a few minutes to figure out where that's set. I really like Dewey's signature with the video attached. I just need to produce one that's half as good as that masterpiece.

Mike, quick question. When you changed your front grille over to the SE/STX(what's the difference?) did you also have to change the front FORD emblem? Your original grille is like mine except yours was chrome.
I'm thinking if I need a new emblem too I'm not going with the STX grille. Thanks.

I think there is a difference between the STX/Lariat SE front emblem and the standard XLT. My chrome grille doesn't have the plastic bezel that's included in the STX/Lariat SE emblem. I'll take some closeups tomorrow of both.

There is a thread that goes over the 2018 emblems and their interchangeability

Thanks Mike. Yes I've read that thread. My XLT emblems start with PN "FL" and I believe the STX emblems start with "JL".

Yeah..I think the first letter of a ford part number is the first year it was used. So 2015 = F, 2016 = G, 2017 = H they skipped I so wouldn't be confused with a 1 so 2018 = J. So if rule holds true the Limited bumpers should start with a K.

The guy in this video goes into in a little more detail.
