Not those stickers, but the first thing I do is remove the dealer's name sticker.
When I ordered the Ranger I told the salesman no dealer sticker and he said no problem. I plan to remind him a couple of days before arrival/delivery.

I told the dealer no stickers and there was one on the tailgate on delivery. I had to drive the truck back to their prep shop to have it removed. Then I took off the dealer advertising plate on the front and the dealer license frame on the back.

Not good! Do you know Ford ships original license plate frames? I know in the configuration for my truck there was a no charge front plate line item.

The one from the factory is for those states that require a front plate be mounted.
It's just the holder, it's not an advertisement frame that dealers put on.

Think of doing this with flat black on the Lightning Blue, can't decide if it would be too much contrast.
I would grab a roll of black vinyl electric tape and cut a few pieces to fill in a couple of letters. I would think it should come off with no residue. You can try it first on a tailgate side edge.

Is it possible to get the rear emblem off without breaking it? I'm replacing the chrome camera housing with a black one but want to reuse the standard emblem.

You start by carefully prying the Ford oval with a trim removal tool. It looks like one assembly but the camera housing and Ford emblem are two separate pieces. Ford emblem is snapped on. Once you remove that, you will find two bolts that attach the camera oval to the lift gate. Remove the bolts and pull camera off.

Prying off the emblem will break the clips that hold it on. You'll have to reattach it with double sided heavy duty tape.

Not necessarily...if done carefully. It's the only way to get to the bolts however so if it does break, buy another.

Just got these made. Not sure if I like them. Kinda weird that the “Ford” is not completely filled in and he couldn’t do the second inner (smaller) circle outline.
