I don't know who thought this mod up, but it sure is slick. With the price of most mods, you sure can't beat the price on this one. And it sure is pleasing to the eye! Once again, it sure is easy to see why this is the best lightning forum out there! Thanks to all the people out there who just love this truck.

 

DITTO!!!

 

Please if you have a black lightning post pictures of this mod.

 

What mod are you refering too?

 

Shiny Emblem mod

 

Never seen it.But would like too.Thanks for the reply..

 

I honestly don't think anyone with a black L has done this because they are afraid it will "stand out" too much against the black. I love how it blends in with white and especially silver

Looks Kick **S on True Blue![And it's almost Black]So much so that I removed the SVT -F150 off my tailgate and swapped in another shiny "L" emblem!

 

Mine is black and it looks great. Course I ride a Harley, and you know what they say, If it ain't chrome, make it black!

 

Can someone please post more info on this mod. Maybe a link to a thread that has details on how to do it? I am interested, pics on black would be cool too!!!

Thanks!

here,, use 100%acetone and papertowl or a rag,, whipe vigorously till all paint is goine,, dont worry about getting it on your paint as it comes right off with just a dab of acetone on a rag,,, then use q-tips for the hard to reach areas,, whipe to shine and you are done,, looks great too if i do say so myself

 

from close

from far

i did this and they like what they see.

here's where i saw it first.. in november of 2000

http://www.f150world.com/sidelights.asp

he installed sidemarker lights, and "chromed" his emblems.
on the last page of his write up he says:

"The chrome emblems on our truck are completely stock. I removed the black paint using 100% acetone (finger nail polish). DO NOT dunk the emblems into any kind of solvent, most likely they will soften and melt because the backing is plastic. I used several Q-tips and a soft cotton rag to remove the paint. The paint on the emblems for 1997 and 1998 are "baked" on and nothing will remove it. New emblems from the Ford dealership cost from $14 to $17 each. "

it soudned to me like he was just kidding, but it would be nice to trace the origins of some of these mods out there,, who was the first ???
