I could not tell you as I have never had one or looked into one really... A quick search here would probably dig up the part number to tell. A while back those where a pretty hot item to balance out the tailgate.

I'd imagine they might still be floating around if you wanted to just try searching something like Tasca Ford Parts instead of on here.

Yes they are, here is the # 2L1Z-7842528-ABB

they still come up on tasca's site, so I guess you can still get them. They are listed at 37.00 each.

I happen to really like the new FX4 decals. I like that they made them look like the pre-09 ones. I didn't mind the 09-11 ones at all but they were just a different kind of style. I just like that Ford is willing to change things up and not let their product get stale.

Oh and by-the-way you have an awesome truck 05RedFX4!

I usually wince when I see an FX4 with chrome on it, but yours looks really, really good. Plus it's great to see a blue truck. I feel like I never see blue anymore.

Love the Expedition FX4 badges. Great addition!

I love the clean look of my 11 FX4 screw with the decals removed. I do think the 12' decal does look better....but i would probably take it off as well.

Here's the 09's for comparison....



By the way the first pict...It's my truck. I did post it in another thread. I hated the 4X4 sticker on my XLT and replaced them with the FX4 one. I just love those.

I haven't liked the stock FX4 decals from 2003-2012 The thing I don't like about them is the red and the 2012 decals have too much red. They might look good and blend in on a red truck, but I've never owned a red truck. I had to modify mine on my '11 because I couldn't deal with the red.

They look to me like an imitation sticker someone bought off eBay. You know, the ones where sticker companies try to mimic factory logos and miserably fail?

Have you guys taken off the OEM stickers before? I'd like to peel them, but make sure I don't do any damage below. I've got a 2010 and was thinking of just using a blow dryer to help them peel off easier.

Anyone run into any issues taking them off?

Thanks.

I did it last week, no issues.

The adhesive is not that bad, I used a heat gun, a hairdryer will be fine. All you need to do is get one of the corners started and they come right off, very little glue left behind as well.

I just let my truck sit out in the sun on a warm/hot afternoon and let the sun do all the work. I just started to peel VERY slowly and instead of peeling at a 90* angle I tried to keep the sticker at a low angle against the truck so i wasn't really 'lifting' the sticker off.

Cool, thanks guys. Was a little worried about the paint looking a bit different under the sticker, but with the truck being about a year old, I suppose that shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks again.
