I take all my stick on badging off as well. The truck looks much cleaner without it all. Not sure why anyone needs to know what motor you have, is it gas or diesel, is it a limited or special edition....etc...etc..

I am all for badging being incorporated into trim or a panel, but not a stick on. Seems like an after thought or even worse, like that aisle in autozone with all the stick on things.

Every one has different tastes. My wife is fat, short and ugly...... yours is beautiful.........we could love them both the same (I have an advantage, theirs more for me to love).

No one "needs to know" the owner thinks it's cool, it is his truck after all, right.

I would put one on my cabinet in my shop. I would then keep the other three as spares in case I got a new cabinet!

The best way to advertise your engine displacement, is to put your foot down!

Thanks. It's the stock location Ford used for the 6.2L Raptor when it came out (and of course, the PSD badges since the SD body style came out)...so I copied it and I think it looks the best IMO.

Gonna agree with that. If farther away from quarter badge it would look isolated and awkward. The body line it's in looks made for it.

I agree as well. That location looks natural and flows with the lines of the truck.
