i have the 2000 ford ranger XLT flareside. I ran a search but couldnt find the exact answer. I want to remove my Ford emblem in the back tail gate. If i remove it, will there be holes in back of it or is it just mounted on there with some awesome adhesive? Would it look nice if i removed it? lmk, thanks

 

theres two alignment holes under it.

 

ok thanks, there goes that idea!!!! :)

 

you could always get some vynil(sp) or something, maybe a sticker?

 

wait, now that i think about it, theres two alignment holes and a bigger one in the middle for some reason.

 

lol, screw that haha

 

This is what I did,,

 

man u can pay like 30 bucks for someone to shave the emblem... and repaint it, plus white is an easy color to match.

 

I dont have white. I have a wedgewood blue :)

 

aw... i must of missed that, but yea $30 to get it shaved and repainted!

 

^^ No way, at least not around here. There is no one who will rmove that badge and repaint it (good as factory) for 30 dollars....

 

haha no way in hell, it would be like $100-$200
i got quoted $1800 to paint my truck and thats with them doing the prep work.

 

what i did

99 mazda b series tail gate

 

Where did you get that tailgate?

 

how svt?

 

its a 99 mazda b-series tailgate, i got it off of ebay, but you might check your local salvage yard... i believe you can go back as far as i think 94... when they changed the bodys on the mazda trucks

 

Sweet! I just found one on craigslist for $15! Now I just have to paint it dark shadow gray. Would anyone happen to know how much it is to buy your own paint that matches my color?

 

i'm not sure, but you can take it to a body shop, and see what they say, i was charged $100 to paint it

 

That's not too bad. Thanks!

 

hows the condition of the tailgate?


i got lucky with mine, the guy i got it from bought a fleet of mazda trucks, and took off the tailgates when they were new to put on contractor canopys... i think i paid $50.00 for mine
