I saw in a parking lot today a newer looking F150 with a “5.0” door badge emblem in the same spot where the typical “powerboost” badge would be.
Curious if there is a specific build that includes this badge or is it an aftermarket piece?

I can say with about 96% certainty that it’s an aftermarket badge

I read somewhere that those add 10-15 HP.
Not technically, but effectively, yes. The aerodynamics of the aftermarket badge provides a boost similar to a 10-15 HP increase. Of course this effect is exaggerated the faster one travels due to fluid dynamics. Much like strategically placed stickers on vehicle or "Bold New Graphics" on a motorcycle. It's science.

I heard of you can find the ever elusive howling coyote badge, that gets you another 25 hp.

I have thought about adding a 5.0 badge somewhere as I feel, in this day and age, that it’s a travesty not to advertise a V8. GMC/Chevy both have hood badges, Rams all do, and every other engine option is advertised in the F150 lineup. But I also like a badgeless truck. Lol.

As far as the original post, the 5.0 badges are plentiful on eBay, and I would imagine Amazon and/or Etsy would be other options.

actually it’s kind of funny, the only way to tell if an F-150 has a V8 is no badges at all!

Power boost has one, eco boost has one

My truck has a 5.0 badge but I put it on myself. It was primarily to hide some small scratches I put in the brushed plastic trim piece when I was drilling out the hole for the upper glovebox light. ?

That’s a valid point. But I feel only Ford owners are aware of this. Lol.

I did from stock STX to Badge King 5.0....would love to go back to basic STX. It doesn't fit that well.

Yeah, the badge actually looks pretty cool. Too bad it doesn't fit that well.
