olperez1 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hello fellow Edge buddies, i'm new to this so please bear with me. I found it cheaper to black out the front grill and rear chrome lining by putting flat black vinyl panels for $100 rather than spend $300+ on Ford's custom painted ones, the only issue i have now is that the blue of the Ford Emblem is ruining the whole transformation. Has anyone else had ideas or have executing changiing the emblem to their liking (ie. found a place that sells colored emblems, designed or purchased custom replacement badges that don't need to be the Ford logo?) Any help is greatly appreciated. I will post up some pictures of the new ride once i've done my modifications.....including: - Flat Black front grills, rear panel and window moldings (no chrome on this bad boy). - 24 Inch Black rims with white inserts (Edge is all White metallic and black mods) - Magnaflow to give it that deep sounding exhaust - Limo tinted windows. Again, thanks for the advise in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosecannon Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Hard to see, but my emblems are currently wrapped in Carbon Fiber, and the word, "Murdered" is in shiny black over that.

cal3thousand Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Try this site: http://www.patriotdecals.com/ They'll make custom ones. I'm thinking white or red. EDITS: apparently they are under scrutiny from Ford about using the logo. Found a DIY!!! get crackin! http://www.fordf150.net/howto/customemblems.php Also found a guy selling them, but he is on hiatus until June 1: http://planetauto.homestead.com/chromeemblems.html Edited April 7, 2011 by cal3thousand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal3thousand Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Red would look very Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. noted. Leaning towards whiting the car out or smoking it. White emblems, white carbon fiber vinyl on the lower fascias OR smoked lights, black or carbon grille, black or carbon lower fascia, smoked emblems. Looks like I got some photochopping to do.

igcitng Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I feel like I am the only one here that likes the chrome grille. Am I out of touch now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal3thousand Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I feel like I am the only one here that likes the chrome grille. Am I out of touch now? It's not that. IF I were to go with the dark look, then doing something original with the grille could look really good. otherwise, If I stay with the white theme, I will leave the grille as chrome. But I do like the chrome grille. It's Ford's most stylish and power grille at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choff1138 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I feel like I am the only one here that likes the chrome grille. Am I out of touch now? I like the chrome grill - though seeing some of the body matching one's I am tempted. Just not really big on dealing with mod's and such... I want the car to look good (already does) and function as intended (does) so I am pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igcitng Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 The chrome looks so nice with the light colors. I have always driven black cars/trucks until I bought my Edge and I actually prefer the lighter colors on it. I have the vapor silver. I saw a 2011 in the light silver and loved it. At first I thought it was a sign of getting old but decided it is just a nice look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogregb Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I agree, It stands out too much, especially on black sport grill. That's why I am going to vht nite shades it, then clear coat.... on my to do list....:shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinLine Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I had a mirror custom cut to fit the three bars which I removed from the grille. Ultra smooth, no pitting and you cannot get a better reflection. It looks very clean and bold. I think colored keyed grilles look cheesy unless it is a matte finish which looks much more sophisticated and clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrsquared Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Can someone tell me how to replace the BACK emblem on the Ford Edge? The original one is scratched and I have the replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 A heat gun/hair dryer and some floss/fishing line should be all you need to get the old one to come off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engr146 Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I bought the black background with light gray lettering ford original decals,steering wheel and front and rear badges and they give u a spare off eBay for $20,looks completely factory but black,looks great on my 07 triple black edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrmynorcal Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Yeah that blue oval looks out of place. One of the reasons I like my MKX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefduane Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 hmmm... I am one of those guys that actually LIKES the Ford blue oval. I painted my front grill Tuxedo Black to match the rest of the car and left the front emblem as is. Its distinctive and stands out against black grill, and I really do like the Ford script in the blue oval. With the blacked out front grill, the chrome 22's, and the Blue Oval, it really is a pretty sharp look. But hey, that's just me - to each his own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
