Emblem question has been resolved, but still need help on the rest!

Before and after rear badge swap. Front still to come..

The way realtruck.com works, is you fill in your vehicle specifications and it gives you parts that specifically fit that model. I have a 14 Sport, mainly because I liked the older body style more than the new, not taking anything away from the new body style, they're still awesome. I also wish my year had an ecoboost option but it didn't so for now I'm working with naturally aspirated. But yeah, fill in your vehicle specs and it will feed you parts that fit your vehicle. The link I sent you is still the link to the emblems I purchased. Defenderworx billet blackout emblems. You have options for a finish as well, but don't forget to fill in vehicle specifications to make sure it fits yours. Also, I removed the rear badge today and put the new badge on...looks amazing. I'll post before and after pics. All I did was heat it with a hairdryer for about 5/10 minutes then, wrapped a butter knife with a towel to pry it off. Be careful not to scratch your paint. I don't know how it works with the 17, but mine also had little pins on the back to make sure that the badge was lined up, so watch out for that, they weren't clips though just pins. The replacement badge, however, didn't have the pins, only sticky tape.

Hey everyone, I just ordered new billet blackout badges for the front and back of my Edge. I know to remove the front, I have to drop the bumper and get behind the grille to pop the clips, but for the back, is it just double sided tape holding the badge on or are there screws/clips holding that on as well? I've tried using a heat gun and flat butter knife to pry it off but I don't want to pull any harder with the fear of breaking or cracking something. Has anyone removed their badges and maybe have some advice? Thanks!

Ok, so I had a few different questions about a few different topics and figured it would be easier to post them all in one place instead of posting all around the forum and waiting on responses.. First and foremost, I ordered new grille and tailgate billet blackout ford badges for my 14 Edge Sport, I know for the grille, the easiest way is to remove the grille to get behind the emblem and pop the clips, but as for the back, I've tried popping it out and it seems like that too is connected with some sort of clips. Do I need to remove part of the tailgate trim to remove the badge or should it just pop off and I'm not using enough force? I don't want to break or crack anything, hence my hesitation to pull any harder. Second, for removing the chrome stache below the hood for wrapping, do I need to remove the headlight assembly to get the two side pieces off? I've tried to remove them and have also failed with this. Third, I've been trying to decide whether or not to buy an ECU tuner but I'm having a hard time finding one that's compatible with the 14 3.7 na. Any suggestions? Last, I've been thinking about lowering springs but not sure how it will affect stiffness/body roll. Has anyone lowered their edge on h&r springs, and have you noticed a significant difference in handling? Any suggestions or advice would helpful, and thank you all in advance!
