Lariat fender badge in place of F150 tailgate badge - MOD DONE
Here are pics of the process:
New Badges
Original Badge
Taped off old badge for new badge alignment
Original badge removed (note tailgate holes) - took like 2 mins to remove the emblem, then had to peel off adhesive
Images continued below, could only do 4 at a time in this post
I think it looks a lot better!

I believe that there are holes in the tailgate for the badges. If the fender badges don't have pins, just align the new badge to the old one. If the pins are in the wrong position to fit on the tailgate, just lop them off and stick it on.

Here is the rest of the pics
Tailgate and fender badge pins (note different pin location)
I opted to just take off both pins with a hacksaw blade and just align with the painters tape
Cleaned well with Alcohol wipe
Fender badge installed
Tape removed, letting 3M tape cure
DONE!
Total time 20 mins max

Hey, thanks for all the replies, I'll be taking some pics of it back on the truck here this week. Freaking salt! Can't keep a truck clean in NY this time of year!
