Just joined up, looks like a great site! Picked up a Black 05 Supercrew FX4 and purchased a V8 emblem like you see on the back of V8 Explorers. Need opinions on where to place it. Right side of tailgate level with F150 emblem? or right side of tailgate towards lower bottom. Thanks everyone.

I hope you go for the tailgate opposite your f150 emblem... I've been thinking about doing that for a few weeks now... it really needs something back there to equal it all out...

Thanks! I agree, needs a little something extra. I like the classic V8 badge especially on black.

By the way, I'm definitely gonna go opposite F150 emblem, just not sure wether to go level opposite side or down lower opposite side.

Welcome!

...and make it directly across from the F-150 emblem!

Make sure you post pictures soon as you can or else you'll hear it from everyone!

 

put this on the other side of the tail gate-----from fordpartsnetwork

 

Here's my weekend project for my tailgate on my 2005 F150 FX4. A couple of the guys from this forum already have one on their tailgates which gave me the idea. Won't have a picture of it on the truck till tomorrow night at the earliest.

 

I have the FX4 emblem on my tailgate, if you center the emblem on the right to balance out the F150 on the left, use 6 3/8 inches from edge of tailgate to center of emblem and it looks factory when done

 

I've thought about buying another fender emblem, and cutting off the bottom part that says "XLT 5.4 Triton" and sticking that on the right side of the tailgate. It is the same length as the F150 emblem and I think it would look quite cool. Any thoughts on this?

Looks like you and I are on the same page. I was going to use the center of the Left F150 emblem from the top and side edge to use as the center of the FX4 emblem.

 

Put the FX4 emblem on the tailgate and buy a second V8 badge and put them on your front fenders like I did mine. Pics are in my gallery.

The FX4 emblem on the tailgate looks sweet. Factory, even. That's what I'd go with if I had an FX4.

 

As bad as I'd like to see a V8 pasted back there just so I can see if I'd like to do it as well.... I have to agree with the others, the FX4 looks stock and completely compliments the tailgate...

That's it... I'm just going to buy the darn V8 myself... for $15, I can afford for it not to look right .... I'm sure it'll make a nice toolbox emblem if I don't like it. LOL!

Thanks RP,

That was bone-headed stunt I pulled, especially in a newbie thread.
