Appearance Questions

I was following a new white Superduty (like mine) going down the road the other day, and on the tailgate where it says Superduty the letters were silver. I was just wondering if he had them painted or if anyone knows if you can buy them someplace and you them stick them on yourself. The other question i have is about the Ford emblem on the grill. Has anyone noticed that the plastic chrome on that emblem seems a little dull. I didn't know if there was a plastic film on that emblem that i should try to peel off or if it is on there to protect it. Thanks, Craig

Recon lighting has some kits, chrome I think. They have carbon fiber which looks pretty cool. The recon kit does your tailgate, the passenger side glove box, and the front above your grill where is says "superduty" Also you might be able to find the lettering on ebay. They are just cut out letters that stick on.

He did talk about it on here and I thought he posted a link where to get them.

The plastic film is to protect the Ford emblem. I'm sure it will begin to peel off like the one on my wifes '11 Edge.

Yeah, my emblem is doing that right now. Its too brittle to just peal all the way off.

You can pick all sorts of colors with the ebay ones. Cheaper too, the Recon kit is a little more $$

I bought the ones off ebay for my truck. If you use a squirt bottle with water and a drop or two of dish soap in it to wet the truck down one letter at a time they are real easy to put on perfect.
