????

I wanna move it and put a 98 XLT emblem on if its not holy

how bout the "Explorer xlt" emblem?

I have the 98 fender v8 badges and it looks nice.

I have test fited the 98 hatch window molding and it will look great when I get the corners painted body color

The Explorer XLT has holes for sure. I'm not 100% about the oval though.

oh crap, any one have a pic of a hatch with out the emblem so I can see where the holes are?

yes, the oval has 3 holes also.

what 98 molding do you mean?

the ones to finish up the rear side window line

Its actually just 95-97 tail lights on a 98-01 Explorer. But yeah, the hatch will bolt on. Just gotta do some custom wiring and change tails too.

You actually only have to reroute your license plate lights, ya know? Since theyre going from the bumper to the hatch. Tell I dont know this for 100%.. but I plan on doing this in the near future. But thats all I can think of. I have a 96 and the woman has a 98 so I've looked and measured all I can. I think its a good to go swap.

Whats the going price on a 98 hatch?

$500-$800... :( plus you gotta find it local and get it painted as well.

that is exactly what I was looking for.

it looks like 3 holes for the EXP XLT emblem?

are there any for the XLT part?

and where do the pins fall in relation to the letters?

will the 98 sticker letters cover the holes? I may pull them off to day to see.
