Fender Badges - anyone changed theirs?

[antho]

Theres one sitting in my dealer right now, think it’s a Shelby with a obnoxious price tag (including “market adjustment”). When I was there, that’s when I found out the first time they won’t sell these badges to the public. Called Ford right after, got the same thing. Kept saying “Sorry, we don’t sell these to the public.” I was pretty pissed lol. I found a guy who can make identical ones. Here’s his render photo. Also the link below, Badge King, will make these for you. That’s his render photo and his Facebook page.

A Shelby isnt Ford Performance. If its a Shelby it will say Shelby on its Fender and not Ford Performance. Regardless, Doesnt really matter. I would just order from the guy that can make custom ones.

Not sure if posting an Etsy product link is frowned upon but before I Plasti Dip'd my fender badges I had been talking to a guy on Etsy about making vinyl letters to delete the chrome letters. Well, he messaged me this morning to let me know he now had them available. Although his listing is not completely finished with pictures of the actual product, he is currently taking orders. He will also do two colors (if you want the F-150 in black but the XLT or Lariat in another color). At this time he is only offering these for the XLT and Lariat trims but I am sure he could do others if requested. Plus he is offering free lifetime replacements if any of the letters fail. If I hadn't already blacked mine out I would definitely give these a shot and I think it would be perfect for those who are uncomfortable going the PlastiDip or HyperDip route. The only thing I am unsure of is whether the vinyl letters only cover the face of the letters or all sides.

Vinyl Fender Badge Letters

Interesting. I'm in no rush so I'll wait for the pictures. $45 seems expensive, but maybe not for lifetime replacements

I want black XLT ones. Will probably dip them.

You can get the BAP XLT ones that Ford sells with the BAP packages but it'll definitely be a long wait.

Yeah, I couldn't recall because I saw one in person and that was back in the early 2020 release date for show only lol. But yeah I'd go with the Badge King or anyone who can do it, even though the wait times are a bit long but worth it.

FYI, he updated his site with pictures. Looks like the vinyl letters only cover the face of the chrome letters and not the sides which is probably not what most are looking for.

That was my fear. I'll pass.

Does anyone know if the BAP ones are satin like the Sport ones? I don't want the chrome letters but also don't want glossy badges.

They’re gloss black, which I was disappointed as matte black was my favourite look! You could always apply matte plasti dip to give it a matte look but honestly, too much gloss for BAP for me.

I took off the STX sticker with a hair dryer. Then I replaced the OEM fender badge with a custom American flag badge.

My truck, well when its built, will have the flat black fender badges. I just ordered these to replace the stock badge portion.

I mean no one cares about the trim level, right?
