Need a New Emblem

[dhdaniel]

Wheres the best place to order a new Blue Oval 9" x 3-1/2" ?
for the front grill on my 2006

found 1 new on Ebay $49
LMC price is $54

I am sure Dealer is higher price

mine has started getting air bubbles under the top skin
appears to be laminated

Thanks
Dave

Your Ranger is fairly new, but have you tried junkyards? Theres an off chance one might be there.

Agreed^^ Or if you find someone parting one out. I know my friend removed all of his Ford emblems and replaced them with "The Punisher" skulls.

keep it posted up on here.. someone will be replacing them or something.

any other years have the same size? try the dealer, you never know...

Another idea I had was you could try and use the "change the color of your oval" method laid out in a Tech Library article to repair it yourself.

If you're gonna replace it anyways then it wouldn't matter if you bodged it

changing the color is not gonna help the fact that "top skin" is bubbled..

I was bringing it up for the possibility of repair using some sort of plastic resin. Color change is irrelevant but the article has instructions for taking apart an emblem.

ah ok.. maybe it'll work. he could try. like you said-- its already messed up and needs replacing

 

[BlueChariot]

My idea could be done with a dremel, and some hobby store clear resin. I'm not sure it would look right but it's worth a try.

To the OP, could you post a pic of the old emblem?

I have an 06 as well. Mine is bubbling as well. I'm thinking I'm going to try the color change mod and if it doesn't work pick a new one up. What the hell right?

Well like 4.0B2 said earlier changing the color doesn't fix the bubbles. Just changes the color.
