*Funny, get asked that a lot ... but UNFORTUNATELY I couldn't afford the Badlands but I really wanted the 2.0 engine but instead I settled for the color I wanted and a great price and home delivery. So ... it's a BASE MODEL BS ... and FORTUNATELY for me ALL lettering on the base models already comes in black . Here's a pic of my base model after my upgrades.Those look awesome!
I just got my Badlands less than a week ago in the white. I want to black out the rear letters in the near future.
Any suggestions on how you put yours on so straight?
I totally get it. I only went with the Badlands because they gave me such a good deal on my trade that it was just worth it. Do you have a build list for the upgrades you've put on?*Funny, get asked that a lot ... but UNFORTUNATELY I couldn't afford the Badlands but I really wanted the 2.0 engine but instead I settled for the color I wanted and a great price and home delivery.

You can purchase vinyl overlay letters from any number of places online. The secret to getting them on straight is use a lot of application fluid. What's that, you ask? Well, you can pay a lot of money for it over at Amazon, or you can just make you own. If you have a smaller size spray bottle just fill it up with water and add a bit of soap.Any suggestions on how you put yours on so straight?

Thanks for sending this. I keep forgetting that most of the stuff nowadays is vinyl and work well with the soapy water. I’ll keep that mind when I try to put them later this spring.You can purchase vinyl overlay letters from any number of places online.

Thoroughly clean the surface, spray liberally with application fluid, then apply the letter overlay adhesive side down. If you've applied enough fluid you'll be able to slide the letter around until it's perfectly lined up. After that, use a squeegee to get all the bubbles out, then let it dry thoroughly--I would give it 48 hours--before washing your car.
I applied mine that way and they've stayed on without lifting for over a year.
I agree, for the most part it does. I do like to use SPORT mode now and then ... makes it a bit better.You will find the1.5 will have more than adequate power on the freeway or off road.
The USA Flag is heavy aluminum that's overplayed with the vinyl blackout flag ... it's made slightly larger than the Ford badge and has 3M tape on the back ... so the original Ford stays there and the solid blackout flag goes directly on top. Easy and looks good!Is the flag oval an overlay or replacement emblem? Looks sharp.

Looks good I also blacked out my letters but I removed the SPORT and removed the side emblems.*Added a couple ofpatriotic blackout badges to the back of my TEXAS BABY BRONCO.
