Default actone my emblems? added pics

If you all dont know on the 97-04 (97-98 actuly have baked on paint so they have to buy 99-04 but you get my point)f150 they can use actone to remove all the black form the emblem leaving a nice chrome emblem like i did to my f150 here:


Now on our cars i was looking at the GT emblems as i was detailing the engine compartment today and realized i think i can do this same thing to our emblems so i am gonna after class get some actone and pull a emblem off and see if i can also do this to these. Cause i like my stock bages and think they look nice i just wanna be different plus i like the chrome with my stock wheels polished lip.

I will update you all who are interested on if this works on our cars as well. Oh plus its a cheap *** mod for the price of a small bottle of actone and some 3m double sided sticky tape i hope it works.

Did that to my old F150 too...If you want to wait a minute, I'll go hit up my old GT emblem with some acetone and let you know if anything goes wrong.

What its right in my sig :banana:

I am about to wash the car i will post pics once its clean so you can all see how it look siwth clean wheels the chrome on the emblems and wheets lips is nice i enjoy it. I think i should take the back one off though as there isnt any holes back there.

And i am not sure if you can do it to a 96 i know ford used to bake the emblems on f150's and you cant do it to the 97-98 so i would guess that before 99 all emblems were baked on and thus you cant. But all you gotta do to see is get some nail polish remover or actone and take a q-tip and put some actone or nail polisher mover on it and brush it on your emblem on the black part if it comes off then u can do it and go for it.
