Looks great. I really like the emblems all black without the red lettering. How do they look in person? Do they look good or do they look unfinished?

The only thing that is holding me back after seeing your truck is the Ford emblem on the tailgate. It almost sticks out like a sore thumb now - or does it look better in person?

i think they look gr8 ... im thinkin of doin the red F150 inlays
and i'm gonna paint the Ford emblems front and back the same flat black
and do the flat black w/ ford in red overlays ..... if i dont like how the red inlays look i'll just leave them all black ... and do something different w/ the Ford emblems

i cant wait to get to the rims and flares

thx for the comments

Are you taking the plastic cover off the emblem and then painting them so there is some depth? Like what people do when the acetone them - that might look really good now that I think about it.

Although I guess simply painting over the black plastic would leave you with a plain black oval with no "Ford".
