I've been playing and looking around at this site (dangerous thing to do ) and sort've decided that if at all possible, I'd like to add my 2nd gen lettering to the side doors. Basically, I replaced my old gate and scraped off the lettering and with the new one I did the same and replaced it with a 1st gen Sport emblem. It's awesome, but now I have two EXPLORER letterings with a Sport and XLT, and most of you guys know, it's all individual letters.
So I have those extra letters and nothing to do with them so I thought it would be kinda neat to add it like some 3rd gens had on the side doors. Although the 3rd gen lettering I've seen is a one-piece emblem, I don't know how practical it is to use the 2nd gen lettering. This really isn't a big deal, just an idea so I really don't plan on paying for 3rd gen emblems and none of the junkyards around here have any 3rd gens or anything that new, so I'm stuck.
I guess what I'm really asking is how practical and difficult would it be to put the 2nd gen lettering on the door just like the 3rd gens have. I've seen plenty of threads on how to REMOVE lettering but none about adding, so I just wanted some friendly opinions/suggestions/ideas on the topic. I've got some sort of cement/adhesive I used on the emblem in back and basically used a ruler sitting on the plastic tailgate piece to keep it straight. Only thing I have on my doors is a thin indent design so I don't know how well that would work. Anyone have any suggestions or comments on how to do this with the individual lettering or is it something too hard to do or not worth it. I definitely appreciate any help or advice here. Thanks.
