Grill emblem (blue oval) replacement options?
The front of my truck (05 Ex limited V10) has taken a tremendous beating from rock chips, etc. I had the front bumper powder-coated a few weeks ago, because the factory paint had chipped and the bumper was rusting badly.
That part's fixed, but my grill emblem (the blue oval in the middle) looks like crap. It's like the plastic outer lamination is separating and cloudy/pockmarked.
Anyone know of any cool aftermarket emblems, either direct replacement, quality stickons, ???

Thread resurrection...
My 05's front emblem was peeling and the blue was coming off. I am going to overlay it with a decal, Thanks for the links! In the meantime, I took some Acetone on a rag and carefully removed all of the coating and color from it. Be super careful as it will remove paint from whatever you get it on. I now have a very shiny Ford emblem on the grille. Cool. I remember doing this trick to some old F150 side emblems to turn them chrome. Ford had an issue with all their trucks emblems flaking off in this era.
