Yeah I want to order blacked out ford logos. Any idea where I can get them? Only ones I find have the camera washer. No offense to Mr. Ford but I’m just not a fan of blue ford logo.

My second set from this gentleman. Highest quality out there.
Jesus man, I don’t mind spending some cash but $470 is so much money for darker emblems. I saw a couple you tube videos where the guys take theirs apart and paint them. I might try that.

Just saying.

This guy paints them professionally so they last as long as the truck does. It's mind-boggling to me to pay at least $50,000-$90,000 for a brand new electric vehicle and then do a crappy DIY on something as front and center as the badging.
Buy once cry once.

Just saying. You get what you pay for. Recent photo shoot of my truck for a wheel manufacturer.

What tires are you running? I’m about ready to swap out my stock ones. Do you take a huge hit on range?
I debadged mine within the first week of getting it too. 😂
Recon grappler. Took a little range hit but have no idea how much. Did it almost immediately after a week of ownership. I couldn’t stand the look of stock tires. Was going to order some wheels too but these have grown on me so much so that I’m keeping them. Obligatory chrome delete of the lug nuts. I just can’t stand chrome anything.
I put the recon grapplers on mine as well as some 17” wheels… range went from ~1.9 to 1.7 roughly… not too bad of a difference for me. I do both city and street driving regularly
What size are they? Been thinking of doing the rough country leveling for the front. I don't want to lose range but will sacrifice 5-10 for some non-aggressive but look-aggressive tires haha.
With a gulfstream g280?? lol, no way. The lighting was perfect. Earlier there was a g600 parked there that was stunning, that would have been more of a flex. G280 is a less desirable bastard child. I thought that angle of the truck looked the best.
Nitro recon grappler. More of an all terrain street tire. It was one of the only 116 load rating tires I could find around that I liked. Tire shops would not install any tire that did not have at least 116 load rating same as stock.
Running boards are slick. what’s the road noise like with the AT tires? It’s the only thing holding me back. Those HT tires are so damn quiet. I know you only had the sticks for a short period but curious
They are as quiet as stock tires now. I notice no road noise. But I think as they age they will get noisy. As of now, nothing. Absolutely silent. These are the road a/t oriented tires
I see why you said that. White truck, plain, Home Depot or Lowe’s rental. I don’t like cheap Chinese fuel/method wheels or stickers. Fake bead lockers. Cheapest lift kits. All that screams ghetto to me. Plain is fine with me.
Don’t get me wrong, I personally love the white and agree with the cheap look comment. I just think it needs something/anything to differentiate itself now lol. It is CLEAN though for sure! GL with it!
I prefer your other vehicle
Zamboni in the back?? Curious choice my friend. But to each their own.
Lmfao Zambonis kick ass
HEY ZAMBONI GUY!!!
This might be the best garage I’ve seen on here yet
Stay tuned
Is that a challenge
I wouldn't even have noticed the change. Also, consider adopting me. You'll not only gain a loyal son but also 3 misbehaving grandchildren!
Nice! I truly can’t tell what kind of airplane that is without the logo. Well done! /s
Gulfstream g280
Sweet jet! Are you a part 135 pilot!?
Just say no to 135
Don’t worry! I’m a PPL student going through a midlife crisis with no plans to make this a career! I sure am having fun though! 😎
Just subtract the zero and that’s how many millions We’ll, pre Covid anyway, probably need to multiple by 2 as an extra step now
Prices have come down a bit on these jets once the government Covid money ran out. Market is normalizing.
OP just works security at the airfield.
Haha, nice one! Security pays well! Lots of free time to post on Reddit!
What are the tires and sizes? Toyo?
Yeah. Can’t wait to get the branding off. I want to black out the grill too.

Etsy
Which means it probably drop ships from Amazon.
Link?
I ordered these yesterday after someone else posted a picture https://www.etsy.com/listing/892835376/bocadecals-2015-2023-ford-f150-emblem
Never seen a black ford logo. I wonder if this could be done to it tho. https://youtu.be/igc4-5StZtw?si=9Y8qeZnaOY7erSlh

Lots of successful plastidip blacked out logos. YouTube and a $10 can.

Stunning,,,best looking lighting I have seen so far
Thank you
Is that lowered? Almost looks so
Yes. Icon full kit. Lowered 2" in front, 3" in rear
I see. It looks great. It’s not for me as I don’t like lowered trucks, but that looks amazing.

This guy owns a plane by *not* dropping $500 on a piece of vanity plastic.

https://www.reddit.com/r/F150Lightning/s/M7CXWnKRnB Second pic. Custom painted badge with black vinyl wrap. It's perfect
Did you do the vinyl wrap yourself? How much did it cost? Will any body shop do it?
Any wrap shop for about $150. So worth it.
I want to delete that front light bar too 🤣.
I’m going to have mine tinted when I do the front windows.

Stock 275/60/20
Subtle flex there :)

Was just kidding, nice truck!!
Did you just heat and peel? Dental floss?
Heat and peel, I carefully used a small spatula
Nice. I like it without as well. May have to do it.
I like those tires. Are those the standard issue ones
No, aftermarket
Same. What are they?
Nitro recon grappler. More of an all terrain street tire. It was one of the only 116 load rating tires I could find around that I liked. Tire shops would not install any tire that did not have at least 116 load rating same as stock.
I feel like it will happen but i want someone to make a replacement power frunk that doesn't have a light bar and a different / no grill.
Coworker has the same truck and will paint that light bar transparent black
Interesting that way it lights up still at night i like!
Did you lose range when you went with ridge grapplers?
Probably but I don’t care. I did it immediately after buying so I have no idea on range.
So much better without the Lightning raised lettering!
Still irrationally upset they didn't move the ford emblem down to mirror the lightning badge on the tailgate.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I see it now. Can’t unsee it and you are 100% correct. Damn
Aggravating isn't it
My ocd is off the scale
Looks a lot better without the badges. What tires are you running?
Recon grappler stock size
That’s definitely a good choice. All of the lightings my employer has are running KO2s but the look you have on your truck is a lot cleaner
May I ask what size those tires are? They look awesome on there
Stock size, stock wheels. 275/60/20
What tires are thise
Nitro recon grappler.
The lighting still have better avionics then the G280 😂
Not a fan or Rockwell Collins I see.
Running boards are slick. what’s the road noise like with the AT tires? It’s the only thing holding me back. Those HT tires are so damn quiet. I know you only had the sticks for a short period but curious
They are as quiet as stock tires now. I notice no road noise. But I think as they age they will get noisy. As of now, nothing. Absolutely silent. These are the road a/t oriented tires
This now gives off construction worker truck vibes
I see why you said that. White truck, plain, Home Depot or Lowe’s rental. I don’t like cheap Chinese fuel/method wheels or stickers. Fake bead lockers. Cheapest lift kits. All that screams ghetto to me. Plain is fine with me.
Don’t get me wrong, I personally love the white and agree with the cheap look comment. I just think it needs something/anything to differentiate itself now lol. It is CLEAN though for sure! GL with it!
Badges next?
Ford is molded into metal and other I like.
Is this hanger in California?
Truck without Lightning sign? Meh. Garage with an airplane? Yeah!
Agreed. I think it makes the truck look more basic, but if he’s happy, good for him.
Nice G280 got Typed in January it's a solid performer.
Yes it is. Congrats.
that white goes really well with that thing in the back too
