okay......stupid question...how do you go about removing the old badge.
I like your upgrade!
Some people use a heat gun and heaa up the badge....and then use a fishing line to pull the badge off the truck. After that all you do is remove the sticky residue. (of course only for stick on badges) You can also use a hair dryer on the hottest setting.
The guy in this video has a plastic pry tool (which I think is cool) The fishing line would not work for this type of badge since it has the pegs...but would work for say the ecoboost badge on the door etc.
I've thought about replacing the Ecoboost badges on my doors with something like this:
I bought those same badges except mine are black. (those are actually a couple of bucks cheaper!) I was going to place it on top of the Platinum badging but I thought it would have looked too busy. I debated on it for a bit and then just decided to place them like this: Just know if you decide to do it make sure you clean your paint with a 50/50 isopropyl alcohol/water mix to make sure you are adhering it to your clear coat and not surface contamination. Using the alcohol WILL strip off any wax you have so you will just have to reapply wax after. The stickers on these are really sticky so get your placement right the first time.I used a dry erase pen to line up both corners of the badge to ensure they were straight and level. If you have to take them off for any reason you will degrade the stickiness of the badge and honestly it will also be difficult to get it off.
New 2011 F150 owner and relatively new to posting here. The flex fuel badge bothered me too. I thought this was a nice way to personalize mine.
Good looking badge. I have seen it online at two different sizes, 3/4" & 1 3/4", what size is the one you installed and did you get if from the suggested blue oval industries? Also, is it a raised badge similar to the Flex Fuel or more of a sticker/decal?
Yes, I bought these from blue oval industries through ebay. They are less than an inch tall, less than six inches wide. These are flat faced, not embossed. Very much like a decal with a thin aluminum backing plate for self adhesive tape.
Love it! Easier to pick my truck out of a parking lot of F150's.

Thanks for the response. Still trying to decide if I want to add something similar.
Do they make that one with a black background?? My search turned up nothing. I am won't a more subtle look and I think the red, white, and blue would stand out a lot more on my white truck.
