looking to replace my Fender badges With decals off of eBay

I'm looking for other people's opinion as to whether or not they have done this.

I like the emblems on ebay. I was considering getting them myself but just haven't gotten around to it yet. If you end up getting them, let me know what you think.

That's cool, is it custom? Looks like maybe you're a pilot.

I bought ones from Ebay like you are looking at, but the F-250 International version and I am very happy with them. I don't think they look stupid and did not feel like paying a lot of money on something that did not make the truck any more reliable or run better.

I replaced both fenders, tailgate and front and rear Ford emblems with International ones of different variations.

You can see a couple of pictures of my truck and the stickers on the truck in the link below.

Basically it comes down to what you are willing to pay for and what you want to do to your truck. It does not matter what other people think are stupid or look ridiculous because they did not buy the truck for you.

I bought the "stupid" looking stickers and made an aluminum backer in the same shape of the original F250 badge but added enough metal around the international diamond so it looks proportioned. I just did it in my garage with basic tools but kick myself for not taking it to work and doing it with the fancy dead buts kinda tools. Ilk see if I can find a picture
