Looks excellent Wowak! Lets see a far back shot of it.

 

You won't be able to see anything. My camera phone isn't that good.

 

ahh heck i didnt know they had a tab goin through the fender..lol i was thinkin about poppin em off, but now if i take em off, i guess i gotta put em back on dont i. or find some way to fix that hole..or is there not a hole in all models?

 

Looks awesome man.

I went to acetone my emblemes once... too bad I broke one emblem in half, I tried to put it back together as best as possible, oh well, you can hardly tell...

 

Yeah, my red badges are one of my favorite little mods. :)

 

how do u acetone badges?

i've never seen any pics of the results, but i hear a lot about them

 

Brian had one good picture from far back if i remember correctly. I'm sure he'll post it. It may have been on another thread.

 

Wait for it.....






:Worthless

 

Uh, I don't have picture of acetoned badges. I just scuffed the chrome on mine, primed them and painted them.

 

so... there's NO pegs holding it to the fender? just adhesive?
i wanna completly debadge mine (tailgate included)

 

u can pull the badges off rather easy, but then u're stuck with 3 holes for ech badge in the fender/tailgate....unless u're good with bondo and paint, just do somethin with the badges like wowak did or get a body shop to weld and paint the holes...

 

^^what he said. i really wanted to take all of my badges off.. but those damn holes. damn them! someday tho, itll be nice and smooth....

 

i have to keep my badges on...i only have "B4000" in chrome where u're trucks have "Ranger".....people would get my truck confused on many levels....haha

 

You only have a Mazda logo in the front, and the flareside bed. They may only get it confused from far away...

 

yeah, i raced a guy in a x cab ranger edge....he gave me the hardest look at the truck tryin it figure out what it is at the next stoplight....

 

Alrigth... crap. think i'm just gonna remove the tailgate emblem... only to add one to the middle, sport trac style (without drilling)

 

u're still gonn have the holes behind the stock emblem....

3 of em

 

yeah. i'm gonna either do it myself. or shell out a couple more bucks to have the body shop do it. they're gonna have to paint it n e way... there's no way i'm gonna try and paint match it myself then spray it.
I'm just gonna have to convince myself it's worth it...

 

well...i've doneit myself...my friend wanted to shave his edge...and he knew there were holes...

we just shaved the emblems and cleaned the paint under then, got some bondo, filled the holes and sanded and sanded and sanded and sanded to get it all smooth and even...then we went to a local auto parts store that will color match u're factory paint into a spray can....we layed down a primer and then the paint, followed by a clearn...all spray can...and it turned out really good....

its easy to do...just a lot of hassle...

 

I'd rather hassle than pay, didn't know the DIY even had potential to be flawless. I'll probably go that route. i have the patience if i know it can work out. save me at least $100 i'd gather..
sweet. thanks TO

 

it's fairly easy...if there are no pegs, some guys I know use either dental floss, or a razor blade (this route requires more caution, lmao...)

 

Do all the badges on the truck have the peg or are some just glued? that peg sucks

 

they all have pegs

 

Where did you buy the emblems at???

 

E-bay.
