Full-Black Ford Emblems on our Explorer!

[ECF]

Those look great. Definitely a great deal. I had wanted mine to be all gloss black background with matte Ford lettering so I used the other seller who custom painted them. Problem is, I already got two chips in the paint and they're only a couple weeks old.

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd add pictures of my emblems to this thread.

I recently purchased some black emblems and received these in the mail yesterday. The front one is a 9" peel and stick (which I believe will work even though its supposed to be a bolt on) but I am concerned about the 7" rear one. It has two pins and what appear to be two self tapping bolts (total of 4 pin/posts). I haven't been able to find a picture of the rear one removed to see if this will work or if this is the wrong one for my sport. Any help out there is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Forum.
Did you check the lick in post #267? Sounds like it is just 'stuck' on. If you decide to take it off, please take a picture with the emblem removed and post it. Although that post was for a 2016, I'm guessing the 2017 would be the same.

Are those overlays? It seems like you might have mentioned it in another post, but I can't seem to find it anymore. I tried plasti dipping mine, but didn't care for the results. As I've mentioned previously I am eventually going to pull them off and paint them properly, but I need to 'ease' Mrs. Squirrel into that since she's not 100% on board with the idea yet. Having overlays that look good with be a nice 'push' in the right direction, though.

Yes they are overlays. I also tried the plasti dip method and ended up taking it off the next day.

My approach was to wrap the entire emblem in gloss black first to cover up that outer silver boarder. The overlays I bought sit inside that boarder so I just simply put those on top of the vinyl wrap. Looks great in person and was quick and easy.

I bought my emblems from prostickers for like 20 something and they come as a set for the front, rear, and steering wheel. We'll see how they hold up with time but to me its a good alternative to buying and replacing the emblems or painting them and easy to switch up the style anytime you want.

[edit] I also wrapped the sport emblem and "explorer" lettering at the same time and am very happy with how they turned out.

I also have a 2017 Ex, I just got my emblems in the mail today. Can you share any feedback on how you removed the emblem on the back?

Have you checked the posts in this thread? I know it was discussed a few times on how to remove it. Also the 'Search' feature is a very handy tool in finding info such as the following; http://www.explorerforum.com/forums...val-of-the-front-and-rear-ford-emblem.386511/

A good thing the emblems came out great because your picture didn't.
To post directly from your device you require an Elite membership ($20) otherwise you can use a 3rd party hosting site like Photobucket and link it.
Also, please update your profile by adding the requested "trim level" (Base, XLT, etc.) so it shows in the margin. That is useful info to have. Thanks.

We just got our black emblems installed yesterday on our 2016 sport. Got them from same ebay seller as DMG632. They look great. We'll see how they hold up. Ours were attached the same as the above pics.

How have these held up since your install last year?

 

[DMG632]

I have had mine on since 5-3-2016 and they still look new. No chips or pits

Have these held up well still? I'm probably going to order them based on price, options, ease of installation, and potentially ease of removal if I don't like them or want to change things up.

No pictures. Not sure how you are trying to attach them. If using the 'Upload a file' button, that will only work if you take out an Elite membership.
