Emblem Overlay Question

Hey guys, I just ordered a new set of Emblem Overlays for all my blue ovals (grill, tailgate, and steering wheel).

I was wondering what to do about my grill emblem though, because it is suffering from the same ailment this one is:

Should I attempt to remove the laminate before applying the new overlays?

BTW, this is my truck:



and I ordered the plain jane "Ford" overlays but with Arizona Beige Metallic background and Fir Green Metallic script for the grill and tailgate and the opposite for the steering wheel.

Yeah I would think you could take a razor blade and fix it to get it down smooth, then install your overlay on it. Don't hold me to it though.

From what I have read and seen, the 05's have the text that peels on the chrome fender/tailgate badges, 06's have the bubbling ford emblem. Surprised yours is like that since you have an 05. I know my fender badges are starting to peel on the driver side.

Yeah after some research that seems to be the consensus. 04-05, fender and tailgate badges. 06+, ovals.

My grill emblem is horrible, but every other badge on the truck is absolutely flawless. Weird.

Is odd, well I would say maybe yours was made late of 05 right before 06. But I don't think that would change anything, and my truck was an 05 off the assembly line at the end of November of 05 so I don't know.
