Make your own custom grille logo (pics)
When I did the facelift on my truck, I'd had a logo stuck over the Ford one before - but didn't like how it stuck down and the raised "FORD" showed through. So here's a way to make a better looking one.
1. Pick what you want - there's a TON of stuff out there on Ebay, etc. I got mine from this guy : Ford Emblem Stickers Here's what he sent :
They don't lay down perfectly, so I trimmed out the parts I would stick down.
Next sand, sand, sand !!! I started with 60 grit to get the blue off and down to bare metal. Then continued to get the embossed letters smooth. I worked my way to 100 grit, then 220, then finally 600 grit.
Next, paint it whatever color you want. I used Krylon satin finish in black. Lays down very smooth and dries for re-coat in 10 minutes. Once dry, put on whatever decal you want
Once that's done, just shoot on some clear coat. I put double sided tape on the backside, and trimmed it down to the edge.
Hope this helps you guys - here's the finished product
