My newest mod, chrome oval

So my ford emblem had been chipped, so I went ahead and fixed it. After taking it off, I found the easiest way for me to remove the clear film was by letting it sit in a pot of water I had heated up in a coffee pot. After hot, the film stays together much easier allowing for feeling it off. Once removed, I used acetone to clean the blue off, then cleaned it up with dawn and re-installed it. I am overall happy with how it turned out, here are some pics.

I wouldn't say mine was a bad batch, it was messed up because it looked like it was hit with a rock.

Thanks for noticing. For the bugs, I've done a lot of night driving lately. As for the bird droppings...I must have gotten unlucky cause i never park under any trees...

That gave me a chuckle...

I like the chrome oval. Think I may just go do the same.

the front emblem is a problem like the chromed badges are (black paint likes to peel).

if your under warranty, just drop by the Ford house and get them replaced for free
