Anyone thinking about or have you already done a mod to cover up that misplaced (IMO, lol) BLUE on the Ford oval?? My friend with pointed it out to me and now I can't get it out of my mind, the blue is driving me insane. And Ford made the emblems so HUGE on the front grill.

I've seen some folks online plastic dip them and I've seen some after market black ones that look very cool. Anyone done this mod yet?

I hope Ford eventually starts to offer factory options to get that blue turned to black! Chevy does it, GM is smart. SO many people started modding the Chevy bowtie that now you can just order it in black straight from the factory.

This one looks good: https://www.billetbadges.com/shop/ford-oval

Isn't it huge because it contains the front camera and its lens washer?

No, I don’t think so. I have a BMW with a washer for the camera and it’s totally flush, doesn’t take any room. Therefore I know the technology exits for small parts and assume Ford uses them too.

I believe the reason for giant front emblems is due to a trend to go BiGGER and BIGGER. I believe it’s an industry trend. I’ve noticed the Cadillac emblem is much bigger on the current Escalade than it was on the last one. Mercedes is guilty too, so are many others.

The problem is that the Ford logo has a deep blue color, which when giant-ized, clashes with most colors on the Expy (IMO), especially with that chrome grill.
Black would be so much nicer, more understated, and classy, again IMO.

Here’s another option, though I don’t know how permanent plastic dip can be?

Looks great. When you do the chrome delete, what will you do with that huge Ford emblem on the grille?
