That looks really good vroomzoomboom. I was thinking of doing something similar to that for mine, but with a blackjack inside.

I tried doing this the other day and melted the lense :/ I tried with a 98 grill emblem (messed that one up) and tried it with the tailgate emblem but quit before I messed it up. Is there certain years of emblems that it is easy to do this with?

 

[Jstcruz]

Is there a trick to geting the chrome out from the inset part of the lense?

I have ruined several of these, but finaly got on to come off but the chrome came off of the lettering in places. So Im just gonna take it all off. I'm starting to get tired of messing with this!

After destroying several lenses, I figured forget it! I made new lenses with plexi glass and made my own emblems.

AHA, great idea. Looks like I will be going with that instead. Good idea Jstcruz.

Very cool, after destroying one I gave up and installed a new stock emblem.

I realize this thread is a bit old, but I just took the FORD emblem off the back of my 2008 Explorer (breaking the retaining tabs in the process) and its not like any of the emblems mentioned above.

The paint is not on the inside, its on the outside. There was a bit peeling, so I chipped a bit more off with my fingernail to confirm it.

That being said, it doesn't look like I'll be able to sand and paint my emblems. Where can I get replacements for my model? Ideally I'd like to get them in black, but at this point I just want new ones that aren't chipped. Mine are the 7" wide kind.

Are the stick on decals any good? The emblem's themselves are in good shape, there is just some cosmetic damage, so maybe stick on decals would be good. Black background with the chrome Ford logo.

06 Ranger tailgate emblem

The Blue Oval on my ranger tailgate was torn off from its backing which is just that big black plastic oval. Can anyone tell me how to remove that black plastic base? Is it clipped to the tailgate from the inside, or just held there with two sided adhesive. Thanks :rangerred:
