New front and rear Emblems


Recommended Posts

My flame overlays were already fading and weathering some so I decided to find something else. I settled on some really nice black billet emblem replacements. I ordered another chrome emblem mount for the front and dropped it off for Tuxedo Black painting last week. I went ahead and threw the front on the chrome backing and took some pics anyway. I will keep the extra chrome piece if I ever want to change it up. Anyway, here are some pictures.

I didn't take any pics of removing the rear emblem but there is seriously nothing to it at all. I used some trim panel removal tools and just worked around the edges from one side to the other and it was a piece of cake. There is a black piece of double sided sticky rubber behind the whole thing. It is not overly grippy where you have to worry about breaking the emblem or anything else while removing it.

The rear emblem was made so it has four pretty good contact points with the metal or plastic (whatever it is) on the lift gate. The emblem came with four pieces of really heavy duty 3M double sided ready to peel and stick. I just swabbed the area off really good with alcohol and it stuck like superglue. Easy as could be.

 

By the way, I thinK I said it on your post but I'll say it again...I really like your blacked out Ford emblem. Very classy looking. I guess I was shopping for the same stuff around the same time as you. I didn't go with a Ford badge because I just love watching people trying to figure out what kind of car it is. I see heads turning and staring going on all the time. I get a ton of questions at gas stations too! It's kind of fun. There are very few Edge Sports in my area that I know of so people already don't know what it is so removing the badge makes it that much more of a guessing game.

That's too funny about the head turning - I find the same exact thing here in Phoenix! I see a TON of Edge's - just not any Sports. In fact, I just saw the first Sport that I had ever seen here yesterday!

I've seen one other Sport in my area and it is at the dealership! I really enjoy owning a vehicle that very few recognize. I guess other than the amazing top speed, blistering acceleration, and up to a million bucks, this must be similar to what it feels like to own an exotic sports car. :woot:

Maybe you saw me. I've seen a RED Sport and a guy at my gym has a silver one.

It's not impossible. Order a new chrome backing piece and have it painted tricoat red for about $50-$75 and then there is a guy on eBay who makes the ford emblem in the colors you are talking about. Just search for Ford emblems on eBay and you can even get the blue background in actual black with the red Ford letting that will match your car color. Sometimes I wish I owned the red sport just so I could do tht emblem setup. It would look fantastic!
