I love the patriot decals but I have the crappy raised leter Ford emblem. That and all the chrome is coming off of the front emblem and I don't think I want to waste a decal on that. New smooth Ford ovals then the Patriots. I think I should be able to get new ovals under warranty right? 2007? still under

I would sure ask if they are covered? I know the older emblems will fit. My harley grill is off a 07, I think, and I used my 05 emblem that I had already put a decal on. I also saw a thread in here someplace where someone had sanded down the emblem then applied the decal so the raised letters didn't show.

^^^^^ another reason for me to take the Rize off and drop it a couple inches. Our trucks look way too much alike for my taste

Very nice job!! Looks Great! Thanks for the infor and pics.

Makes me think about ditching my H bar grill for a honeycomb!

Maybe you could use a Sharpie on your badges.

Come on now, the hell with the cops!! I am digging your new theme, it looks sweet. The trucks look different enough, your sporting black wheels, I have chrome, yours is a 4 door, mine's not. You can't ditch the Rize, it just wouldn't be right.

HAHAHA yeah I've said that for a few months now.....for a lot longer pertaining to other things besides my truck but I won't go there....... You're right that the trucks do look different enough but they also close enough for my taste. The wheels are actually graphite though I can understand the saying they are black. I've made my mind up though and nothing short of my sale falling through is going to change it.

Hey johnny! Don't be giving away my super secret touch up trick. Good thing you didn't have a white truck or I would have broken out the white out!
