Grille Logo Fading

The 'blue oval' in my grille is beginning to fade. Are these available?

Approx $50.00 for one from the local stealership. Even at that rate, it was the first thing I got for my truck.

More like, unpopular. Hands down, the poorest quality production part on these trucks. Originals are outsourced from Italy. The "new" design replacements are supposed to be blue plastic inserts instead of paint.

Bob Drake has nice reproduction Ford emblems made for 1930's - 1950s classics, if the size matches up I bet they would look sharp.

My meaning was, 'popular' because so many of them go bad. I guess I better go ahead and get one, maybe one for the tailgate too.
