I haven't done any real modifications to my truck, just a few accessories and cosmetic touches. Inspired my many of the members here I have been pleasantly surprised and very happy with everything I have done up to this point. Until these Ford emblem vinyl stickers.
I think there were a few issues; including application error, sticker design, and manufacturing. I think the main problem is trying to apply a flat "sticker" to the convex factory emblem. Can't see how that would ever lay perfectly. Additionally, the "Ford" lettering on the vinyl does not align with the embossed "Ford" lettering on the emblem. Finally, it was very difficult to apply the sticker, getting it aligned and laying down flat proved to be beyond my abilities.
On a positive note, I was very pleased with the "gray" color of the oval. There is no "Cactus Gray" option listed and chose a color based off of the provided Pantone PMS colors provided. I work for a printing company, color is my life. However, I chose "Flat Black" for the lettering, maybe the gloss would have looked better with the grill.
The Princess thinks it looks pretty good from a distance, and that the average person would never notice the problems. But to a more discerning eye, it's probably not going to be good enough.
