bpd1151 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Well, after helping out the Wife and kids with various chores in/around the house today, and finding myself incredibly bored afterwards, I decided to take advantage of the semi decent weather here in the Chi-Town area (temps in the mid/upper 50's) and chose to monkey around with my trunk badging a lil bit. I can't recall off hand which member here also did something similar (only in relation to the color) but it inspired me to follow in the same manner, so to whoever it was, thank you. I was recently provided with a couple of OEM 'SHO/EcoBoost' emblems, as well as the individual 'EcoBoost' emblems that come from the factory in black and chrome and are used on the Lincoln Eco products exclusively. Well I opted to surgically remove the stock 'EcoBoost' emblem from the OEM 'SHO' badging, so that only the S-H-O remained. I then hit those individual letters with a rattle can of Krylon Satin Black spray paint. Removed the factory badging from my trunk lid, and replaced it with the newly painted letters, and Lincoln Eco badging. My Wife and kids each commented that I now need to re-do the 'T A U R U S' letters (also in satin black) so that it matches. I'm inclined to agree with them. But alas the sun is going down, temps are dropping off quickly, and I'm calling it day. But I suppose it's a work in progress. But in the interim, here's at least a few of the images of what's been completed thus far: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOdded Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Certainly in keeping with the character of the car. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIP-4-SHO Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Nicely done..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Wow, the black letters look really sharp on the white car, and the black Ecoboost badge really helps keep with the theme of the car. Nicely done, can't wait to see the final result when you get the other letters finished!:thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblues38 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Nice work, but not a fan of the Taurus badge at and the stickers on the back window scream teenager to me. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 There's where I disagree with you, I think the complete debadging just doesn't look right...but to each his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BombshellSteph Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I'd have to say that I'd not only do the TAURUS letters black but I'd even do the chrome strip too. Just because I dunno I just got by the rule of if all chrome badging is black then that goes for the rest of the stuff too.

SHO U UP Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Looks just like mine. I spaced the TAURUS letters out more and lost the Ecoboost BS. I would do all in black though too. I have considered doing mine to match my silver paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
