Hello!
I ordered a BS OB. Unfortunately I hate the white lettering. Ford is now selling the black letters as parts. Anyone aware how easy it is to remove the letters on the grill? And are all the letters the same? IE: would the letters on the FE or Base still fit on the OB?

How much do the black letters cost from Ford and do they also sell for the rear?

One of the Facebook group members removed their letters yesterday to have some body paint done (they got keyed), and mentioned the back came off easily using floss method and a heat gun to remove adhesive. The front grille letters are attached with speed nuts.

Got my Black Sapphire in today. Hoping to knock it out this weekend. I have a heavy hand so I'm praying it turns out well. ??

Is this something any competent paint and body shop will do? I don't like the 'Bronco Sport' lettering and would rather have a pro remove it than me.

watching videos it doesn't look difficult. Heat gun/hair dryer plus dental floss looks simple.
debadging with floss and wd-40
