I just got these in. High quality thick gel overlays (not screen printing).
http://www.dmb.uk.com/prod/979/explorer-2011-2012-gel-overlays
Cost was $32.67 shipped after conversion

The rear one fit perfect. Front one was a little small so you can barely see some blue around the edge, but it still covers the chrome ring.
I went with red on black. The red is not a match, but you can't tell from a distance.

I have the black font on red background and it looks great. The only thing I'm noticing though; they are both slowly beginning to peel. Do you guys know of any non-permanent glue or adhesive I could use? I like the red on black btw.

3M makes an automotive sticky tape, but it's a little thick.
Not sure if it would work...
 






looks great!

If it's starting to peel up I'd try using a heat gun to soften the overlay and soften the glue again, then push it tight again. If it's not sticking immeidately, or slowly peeling up, I'd blue tape it real nice and tight to the emblem after you heat it, so as it cools down, it's still taped to hold its shape, and leave it overnight.
