How do you plan on keeping them off the doors and center console? My dog is unruly
I picked up some door panel protectors off Amazon also that slide into the window channel and this has a mesh shield to keep them off the console!

Went black on the outer STX grill trim!

That STX grill is the best one they offer IMO. Simpler and gorgeous. Whether a black surround or color matched it can't be beat.

Added the first generation backup alarm delete device on. Swapped put my BAK bakflip x4 and think this one is worse then the first. That line in the top drives me crazy...

Final assembly of these.

These took more time and energy than they should have, but I’m happy with the final result. Picture really doesn’t do them justice.

New silicon sleeve for the rear plate as well as tossing in a new cabin filter. Surprised how dirty it was with 14k miles.

To start, I ordered some emblems from eBay and Amazon, be sure to order the right ones, trucks w/o 360 cameras have different ones than what I have. I think everyone without a tailgate applique has the same rear emblem.

You can get used since you're going to be doing some sanding.

I followed the process in this video very closely:



There are a few differences I will note:

I originally taped off the "Ford" lettering *after* I had already painted the basecoat/clearcoat (it was perfect...) for painting the rugged black spray paint for around the edges. However, I couldn't find proper masking tape and just used packing tape in a pinch, well, I am now qualified to say that is a "bad'" idea, it messed up the clear coat on the lettering and actually tore off a little chunk down to the plastic below, I had the option to move forward, or basically start over...

So after starting over, I decided to do rugged black first, followed by the "Ford" lettering.

I used this tape to mask off the rugged black when I painted "Ford" lettering, it stuck well to the black and didn't peel any of it off or leave any residue:

If you paint in your 196.9 million mi² variable temperature, variable humidity, and variable light paint booth like I do, try and get close to specs on the can for painting, one evening after a getting the kids to bed and maybe a few beers... I think the humidity was too high and I didn't wait the full 5 minutes between coats for the base coat (only 3 minutes suggested for the plastic adhesion promotor, so I just kept the 3 minute interval instead of reading the can 🤦‍♂️). So I got some sweet wrinkling...

So after a third attempt on the Ford lettering, I got it right…

From left to right:
- Duplicolor 1K Clear Hight Gloss Finish was just used on the "Ford" lettering and the slim black ring
- Plastic Adhesion promoter, if bare plastic was exposed, even just a little bit, this got sprayed on.
- Rustoleum Rugged Black Premium Laquer, with practice you could probably get it to match the black plastic texture on the truck, I didn't want to invest any more time trying to match it perfectly.
- Duplicolor Universal Black Metallic Perfect Match, this was used on the slim black ring that comes off altogether.
- Space White Basecoat ordered from: https://www.automotivetouchup.com/

Now I just need to find the time to install them and decide what to do with the slightly used ones that are on the truck.
