EcoBrick Bob Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I am assuming you are just going to replace the insert.... correct? On my Flex, One of the reasons I ordered the SHO badges, was that the insert portion of the Flex badge was peeling/separating and didn't look good anymore. Not so sure the Stock Ford badge is all that well made..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCandySHO Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I am assuming you are just going to replace the insert.... correct? Yes, either get just a replacement insert or new badges with the insert replaced. Will know more in a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Great, I really would prefer the complete new badge with the insert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoBrick Bob Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I have no problem with just the insert... as I already have my badges positioned where I want them. Those that are moving them would have an easier time with a complete badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojomofo21 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 A whole new badge would be preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedCandySHO Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Just an update guys. I ordered a SHO badge and received it the other day. Ford used some sorted bad ass superglue to hold the eco boost plate in place, so taking it off first and replacing the plate may not be an option. Working on a few solutions. I will know more in a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 perhaps a little heat from a heat gun will loosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 perhaps a little heat from a heat gun will loosen. That's what I was thinking. I've always used a heat gun and dental floss to de-badge all my cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjhpadi Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 That's what I was thinking. I've always used a heat gun and dental floss to de-badge all my cars. I think it would almost be impossible to get dental floss or fishing line into the recess where the Ecoboost is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCandySHO Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Got the plate off. It is being sent to a company tomorrow to quote making the "new" plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10SECSHO Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sounds good. So the Ecoboost badge is held to the trunk lid with glue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedCandySHO Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Guys, here is the direction I am heading with these. For legal reasons, I cannot recreate the leaf / road icon. What do you think of this? [ATTACH=CONFIG]109[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I was wondering if that (legal stuff) was gonna rear it's ugly head. I've run into a similar issue when I reached out to a vendor who told me they "got served" by FMC LEGAL w/ a warning type of cease & desist letter. Strange really as you'd think that FMC would hop on board with some of the aftermarket stuff, but it seems it's a constant "dance" between individual owners pushing the line to get product developed Vs. FMC trying to maintain some level of control of the profit margins in the aftermarket arena. Oh well, either way, I like the revised look..... seems more appropriate anyhow then a silly leaf over imposed over a stretch of road. You got my vote for the revision as it appears in your post :thumb: ***This post sent from my DROID3 using the 'Tapatalk' App*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsdozer Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Told 'ya you'd enjoy being part of this community now didn't I? ***This post sent from my DROID3 using the 'Tapatalk' App*** For sure. I do like this forum! Guys, here is the direction I am heading with these. For legal reasons, I cannot recreate the leaf / road icon. What do you think of this? [ATTACH=CONFIG]109[/ATTACH] I think the leaf/road design was silly anyways. I like the compressor better, but I think it would be fine without any design there too.

SHO-MAN Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I got to say I'm not a fan of the turbo charger icon myself. I like everything else. I too am not a fan of the turbo charger icon, kinda looks like a snail's shell...I do like the "twin turbo" and would order 2 with or without the turbo (snail shell) icon. JMO....
