I've heard and read how everyone is chroming there fender and tailgate badges. Does anybody have black or smoked ones? I've got a silver truck with black fender flares, and I'm also hoping to swap out my front and rear chrome bumpers with the black ranch hand replacements. So I was thinking that black or smoked emblems would probably look good. Has anybody done it? Any pics?

Thanks,
Groggy

 

Here's another idea, this is what I did. I painted the emblems to match the body of the truck and then painted the letters black, this makes the emblems kindda blend with the truck.

That badge looks great Alf. You need to pain the base of your antenna though. I think smoked titanium finish would look really good on the badges. Mine are chromed right now, but it's a bit too much, so I may pull them off and paint them red to match the truck.

yes, they make black ford ovals, they look pretty cool, but theyre 40 bucks. sadly I lost the website, but I have seen them on eBay.

 

Id say yankem and paint them same color as the truck!
Those look great Alf!

Thanks Jimmy Lee!

Plus this is a not so expensive mod. The badges cost about 15 bucks a piece, having them painted 30 bucks for all.

alf those look great. now another thing on the list of things to do when i can get some time

 

Here's my tailgate emblem. I like it, and a couple of other guys have commented on it as well. Painting the letters in on the Triton logo really makes them jump out at you

Thanks Jimmy,
You know, I wasn't even thinking it about it at the time, but the way I painted them matches the loom and tie wraps on the engine. Weird huh?

 

98 do you have a larger pic of your engine bay? i did the wire treatment to it and i would like to see how you connected two looms together. or if you can expalin it
