I bought blacked-out Ford emblems to "debadge" mine because I have a black truck.
Sounds like my dealer up here. I disliked my experience with them so much, while I had the temporary paper plate on, I turned the dealer-provided plate frame around backwards so you couldn't read their name.
A little bondo to fill the letters in, is that the plan? Emblems are easy, black plasty dip.
I'm probably going to make a stainless plate cover for the tailgate lettering since I can't seem to find one available from an aftermarket parts company. Usually there are generic or otherwise different replacements for the Ford badge for the grill, assuming it's the same size as the F150 et al. The one on the tailgate might be tricky cuz it has the camera there.
covered with a sheet of stainless or aluminum that matches body stamping. And if it's shiney, it might deter people from driving behind me with their brights on!
We just specify as part of our new vehicle purchases that no dealer badging or license plate frames be put on the vehicle. But those have been new vehicle orders and not dealer stock purchases where the dealer badge/decal may have already been put on the vehicle during dealer prep/acceptance for lot stock vehicles.
That would be more work and less visually appealing than body filler sanding and painting, no? I'm trying to decide which route to take when I do it in the future.
