What is y’all’s opinion on the emblem overlays? Or is it better to just buy a new emblem?

I had the emblem overlays on my previous F-150, and they were still good 6 years later when I traded. I'm guessing there are different grades of vinyl though, so if you go this way I suggest you check before you buy.

I think it looks just as good. Clean it well with alcohol beforehand, take your time applying and use a heat gun or hair dryer to set it in place.

I'm happy enough with how the grill looks now I probably won't buy a different one unless I come across a really good deal.

Another option is to take them apart and paint them to your liking. Its a bit of a chore, but there are youtube videos on it. There are also people on e-bay and etsy that sell custom painted emblems.

I replaced both the front and rear emblems to match the Tremor graphics. I got them off eBay for less than $20 each.
The front on is held on with speed nuts accessed from the back side of the grill. The factory rear one is held to the camera housing with push clips, the replacement is held to the housing with double side tape. I also painted the camera housing.
