Removing Emblems

[Long Duck Dong]

Just picked up an 08' Expedition and want to debadge it. I started taking the rear "Expedition Limited" emblem off and see there is alignment pins behind it, so it's going back on until I figure something else out. So does anyone know if there are alignment pins behind the "Expedition" emblems on the driver and passenger doors? Thanks

yes...what color is your truck? you will have to fill them in some how and depending on color i have another option for you

Guess I shoulda came back and checked any responses before I tried to remove the side emblem. Looks like there is 1 alignment hole..?? Mine is black. I was just going to order a couple of those Cobra emblems and have them sprayed black and put them over the hole one each side of the door. I really hate all the big and in my opinion gawdy emblems all over the Expedition. They are definitely coming off, just need to find some clean looking options to cover the holes. What do you have?

I am hoping/assuming there isn't an alignment hole behind the RSC emblem on the tailgate?

JMO, please don't put Cobra emblems on the sides.
I don't understand why guys do this that don't have Cobras.
I'd personally get something made out of billet and have it powdercoated.

Can you expand on this? I have a black expy and I took it into a body shop and they quoted me around $800 to take off the emblems and paint match. How big is the hole and will plastidip be noticeable?

Thanks

plastidip is a colored liquid plastic that is appliable to vehicles and whatever else...you can also make a custom color...sprays right on and any overspray...literally rubs right off with your finger tips...search it on here...i believe theres a good video on how to do it...you can buy it from walmart...

With the plastidip, you would leave the emblems on and just paint them black. They would still be on the truck, but since your vehicle is black, the emblems won't be nearly as noticeable as when they are chrome.

The shop is quoting you to remove the emblems, fill in the hole, and color match to the surrounding paint.

Anyone know if the emblems on the driver and passenger side of the 2000 Ford Expy have alignment pins? I want to remove my emblems and put skulls on mine, it is a black truck.

 

[mrford60]

yes there are holes on the 2000 expy

 

[abnranger67]

yes there are holes on the 2000 expy

Thanks for the response. Any ideas or suggestions on replacing the emblem with something else that would just go over the holes. I had thought about putting 3d skull on either side, but that was before I knew about the holes. I don't think the skulls would cover both holes.

Lol @Freeway. I want to totally move away from the Expedition/Ford emblems. If I could go with nothing, that would be good too, but the holes are the issue. Body shops want too much to cover it. I will do some digging around.

Gotta pay to play. You could cap the holes. They sell different size caps for holes like from removing front license plates and other thing. Get a plug paint to match and there ya go

Something like this.

Then you'll need to paint them

Ya. Take the paint code from the car and order a can of spray paint or touch up paint.

I know this is an old thread, but can anyone chime in on on rear badges for the '11 expy? I have a limited and the only badging is on the liftgate. "Expedition" badge and "flexfuel" badge. I'd like to remove them, but not if there are alignment holes.

Any help is appreciated.

I removed my Flexfuel, no issues. The other I had painted because it in fact does have holes.
