I know there are numerous suppliers for the common issue of the decal flaking off. I finally got tired of looking at mine and decided to try an experiment with it.
I should have taken a picture before I started but you can imagine what it looked like. I'm sure someone else has done the same but I guess I wanted to show it off. I think I like it better this way as opposed to the decal.

 

Looks good.


That was the very first thing I did to my truck once I got it. That emblem assembly retails for approx. $50.00 from the stealership. I've seen 'em around $40.00 (ish) on ebay.


I was sold the wrong emblem from the counter person at a dealership, and once I went to put it on, I seen it was too small. The wrong part cost $38.00 and he swapped it to the correct one, but didn't charge the diference. Kudos to Mac Haik Ford in Victoria Texas for the customer service.

 

Looks great! I just plastidipped mine black lol.

 

How about a pic of the one you dipped in plastic?

 

You bet! I shoulda thrown it in earlier, my bad

 

That looks neat too. I've said many times if my last name was on the front of a vehicle it would be the last piece to tarnish. They really screwed up on that part.

 

Right?! I had a new tailgate put on this truck, whihc has basically the same emblem as my grill (the OE tailgate had the older, smaller emblem - no problems) and I think it lasted like a year before it delaminated and got all cloudy.

 

There should be a bin full of the emblems at the parts counter. Free one-for-one replacement. ...wait, I'm dreaming.
