Looks so much better without the chrome.. Nice job.

Overlay looks good too. Do you like the bit of chrome from your oval and fender emblems? Painting the ovals flat black with the overlay and the fender emblems flat black with red inlays would look sweet.

I was going to paint the emblems black to get rid of the chrome then put the overlays on but I didn't. I wish I would have though. I guess I still can just have to mask off the overlays carefully.

I'd like to paint the fender badges/tailgate badge black and get red inlays but I can't find anyone to make them.

I kinda like it. It's gray and black so it goes with the interior and exterior. Plus it says Ford on the back doors! I'm sure now that you mentioned it though I'll get to thinking about it and it'll be getting ripped off eventually. Thanks.....

I wouldn't put too much faith in this seller, but for $10 you can try it. FYI I asked him a question about them and he sent me a smarta$$ answer and told me not to buy anything from him

Thanks!! I've been looking for months and couldn't find anything. I'll shoot him an e-mail after work.

You think that's gross, try 3+ months.

Badges look good.

Yeah, ditch the pinstripe.

Thanks Ian.

Ever since Darren mentioned the pin stripe I've been tempted to take it off. Never crossed my mind to take it off before....
