Does anyone have vinyl overlays over their front and back Ford emblems? I tried to get some off of eBay but 2.5 months later I gave up and got a refund. I was looking at doing a carbon fiber black background and red Ford lettering. Anyone have suggestions on vendors or have experience making them yourselves?
Vinyl Ford Emblem Overlays?

Yeah I remember watching that thread. Let me know if/when the software gets updated.
In the meantime, anyone else have ideas?
BTW, the vendor I used on ebay was SJM-auto-decals. Quality items, just sent the first set too large (F150 size), then took 2.5 months, sent a second set where he just cut inside the red (chrome on the original) ring around the outside, eliminating that part of the design. Also, it was hand-cut, so not very well done.

I got the exact product your looking for from SJM-auto-decals. Overall i was very displeased with the service and quality of the product. I had to constantly follow up on my order after it hadn't been shipped after 3 weeks and i think it ended up taking almost 6 weeks to finally get the overlays.Wardog692 said:
Upon install the edges of the overlay wouldn't lay down-kept popping up and looked stupid. I then resorted to using some 3m spray adhesive along with a heat gun and that seemed to do the trick. Then week after week the overlays kept shrinking after application and now has at least a 1/4" gap between the blue oval and the overlay. Pretty shoddy craftmanship.
Going to try these next

exact same design but i have verified that it's not the same company/product as SJM.
That's a good photo I may be able to oversize the image by the .125 so when you heat shrink it it will fit or give that other company another try with that measurementColorado-SHOBro said:

Yes! i'm all about supporting forum members in carrying out DIY projects! However, i would not give the previously mentioned company my business even once more just based on pure lack of communication and service. If it's a project you're interested in carrying out i'd be more than happy to be involved in any way i can.Gjkrisa said:That's a good photo I may be able to oversize the image by the .125 so when you heat shrink it it will fit or give that other company another try with that measurementColorado-SHOBro said:

I couldn't agree more Colorado-SHOBro, not one more dime to eBay, but I'd love to support a forum member!
And not to be too eager here, but I've seen a lot of vendors do 3 packs, front, rear, and steering wheel emblems. All I really need is the front and back, but a steering wheel option would be a bonus!

+1 on 3 pack and forum support, will you be making multiple colorways? I like the carbon as I have Tuxedo black, but was also thinking about a matte gray for the blue and gloss black for the chrome.
Yes i I I'll do three packs and first sets will probably have two styles one with the Ford is level with the oval and ones where Ford is on top of the oval to see what people like most.
Anyone have a preference of how to do payments or ideas?
Facebook, think Google has a pay thru email also or PayPal or square.

Paypal is best/easiest for me. Color wise i'm looking for the exact color and style of overlays i have in the pics but just better quality. I have one extra overlay i never applied that's been sitting in my garage. I'd be happy to send it to you if you'd like to take measurements or it would help you in any way. I also removed the one from the pic above and could send that to you so you can measure how much it shrank. Keep us updated and let me know if there's any way i can help!Gjkrisa said:
