    Another recall? On-board diagnostic system

    Changing Ford logos?

    I have seen other Fords w/ different logos where the Ford logo goes on the grill. It isn't an Illuminated logo, it has a different pic. Anyone know where could get one? Someone told me that you can get a Ford one w/ Black background (instead of the stock blue). I think it would look cool.
