Hey guys, just did the shiny badge mod and it looks great. Much thanks to the "L" owner who started this. A tip for those who have not done this yet: Go to a make-up store (better yet ask the wife to go, she will be glad too!) or possibly a pharmacy and pick up some of these "make-up" applicators. All it really is is a Q-Tip that is shaped like a cone instead of rounded. This really made getting into the corners much easier!!!

 

what kind of chemical removes the paint on the badge but not the paint on truck?

 

Assetone, errrrr, acetone........

Just did mine.Looks GREAT against my dark[True Blue] paint!I also removed my "SVT f150" badge off the tailgate & replaced it with another "Lightning "emblem.Looks much better!-Dave.

 

anyone have pics of the "shiny" badges on a black truck? im trying to decide if that will look good or not.

 

Its the cheapest mod i have ever done thats for sure!!!!!!!

Where are the Black Lightning's???? I haven't seeing one yet. Well i guess i'll take one for the team and go out there and do it. Anybody want to donate to buying a new badge just incase it does not look good let me know.

 

Have any of you guys used acetone on the tailgate emblem to make it "shiny" also?

 

Blowntruck did his rear emblem, and so did somebody else, i cant remember who it was though.

 

i think the black would look better w/o it done. id like to get the black on my emblem painted silver to match the truck. so it wouldnt have the black and the word "lightning" would stand out better.

 

unplugging the boost dump was the cheapest mod for me, heck, i did not even do it (thanx soap). But the badges are a close second for cheapest!
