emblem overlays?
I have never seen any up close pics of vinyl overlays. My question is can you still easily make out the "ford" under it? I seen a punisher overlay on ebay that I really liked

yes you can see the raised lettering .. HOWEVER . .if you want to take some time and do it right, you can make it look good.
I did it on mine with the punisher logo in fact and here's how !!
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. - Basically I cut the skull and silver ring out AWAY from the original decal.
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.
