Black Ford/F150emblems?
So I know they're available because I've seen them on several trucks now, but where are guys getting the different colored Ford/F-150 emblems for their trucks? My wife wants black ones on her Abyss Gray F150.
Thanks!

Also from the factory, some F150’s came with black emblems as part of an option package so you can look into that as well.
The cheapest route would be to remove the the emblems and paint them yourself.
I hope this info helps you out.

Came across the factory ones. Can someone explain why some sellers are saying the front emblem doesn't fit the Base XLT grille? I'd rather NOT paint them myself.

I cant speak to the base XLT grille for certain, but on my XL grille, the emblem was smaller than the blacked out new replacement. The new black emblem had a black outer trim ring molded with it and it measured roughly 11 1/2 inches across. The base emblem is only the Ford oval and sits inside a pocket that takes the place of the trim on the new black emblem. it was just over 9 inches across. I know that probably doesnt make much sense, but thats the best way I can describe it I guess. However, the part number you listed does fit the STX grille which is what I went with anyway.

It sounds like if I'm going to do this I will have to modify something, or attempt to find aftermarket ones (which is a literal crapshoot, information on most aftermarket ones is spotty at best).
Thanks.

I watched a video last night on how to color match side emblems. I think I’m going to try I have a custom mixed spay can of magnetic
I have had the plastidip for 2 years now an thy staring to peel. It’s worth a try.

In the kit that includes the two emblems, can the trim ring be easily removed? Or is it molded to the emblem? If it is molded to the emblem it sounds like I can't do this for her without changing her grille to a grille she doesn't like.

This was going to be christmas for my wife, where I simply went out and switched the emblems on her. This was meant to be a quick surprise, not me going out and mucking around for hours in the garage trying not to mess it up while having her truck apart for several hours. I can R&R any mechanical component, but I can't paint for crap. I thought I pointed that out earlier.
