That would be cheating.

Did you do it? I’d love to get rid of some/all of my chrome

I think it is this part number

JL1Z-8200-BB

I'd love to just get the Hood EXPEDITION Letters from the 2019 Stealth and add to my 2018 limited.

I wonder what the hood emblem part number is... anyone know how to find it?
I tried looking on a few ford parts websites a few weeks ago.

I have had the same thought at one time, but was unable to locate the part number.

$137 for a sticker. That's laughable.

I'd find a shop that does vinyl wraps and have your chrome covered in black, or any color for that matter. There's a vinyl that looks like carbon fiber and that would look way cooler than just plain black. I may do it myself.

I was thinking about going the vinyl route also. I have never used vinyl before. Are there any negative long term effects to the chrome if the vinyl is removed at a later time?

I don't have a 4th Gen Expedition, but I'm sure the SSV (police fleet) units have black grilles. Since many SSV's end up in junk yards rather quickly and often before their time, you may check to see the difference between an SSV grille and a stealth grille.

If you like it, even a new one would be relatively cheap compared to its stealth cousin as many fleet parts are discounted heavily by Ford.

Vinyl will actually protect the chrome. Can be removed easily at any time.

 

[Grey ghost]

It looks like the police package has the same grill as the limited except the Grey painted part is black instead. Which I must say looks pretty good.

Just spray it and save ur $.

If you get a quality vinyl such as Vvivid, it will hold up against time. Heat it up when you apply it and give it a good stretch and then if you wanna take it off, just apply a little heat again. Only thing you may get is a slight bit of glue that stays behind, easily removable. Use a felt covered applicator when applying it so you dont scratch it

agreed that is just disappointingly stupid...

When I get my windows tinted I will have them quote a vinyl black out and let you know what they say.

Yeah I sprung for the black Expedition lettering on the hood and its popping off my bros ! Now I just need the black grill, anybody get one yet ??

I also was thinking about getting one. I like the look of it but not sure which route to go. I guess spray painting it would be easiest but dont want to screw it up.

I believe the headlight buckets are painted black too. I'd imagine that would be expensive
