How to Choose the Right Material and Finish for Ford F-150 Emblems and Badges

One of the best things about owning a truck is that there are countless modifications and upgrades that you can make. You might love your truck just as it is, but you could also love relentlessly finding ways to make it even better. Oftentimes, that means improving the performance of your truck. Other times it means enhancing the safety or the practicality. And sometimes it means boosting the style, and just making your truck look better than ever before.

The Ford F-150 is one of the most iconic vehicles in American automaking history, and for good reason. It’s a perfect and timeless truck that drives brilliantly, is tough as nails, and looks amazing. So why not highlight that? Our wide selection of emblems and badges for F-150s can help you add extra style and personalization to your truck, while bringing out some of the best features in the vehicle’s styling.

Why You Should Add Aftermarket Emblems and Badges

There are three primary reasons why adding new emblems and badges to your F-150 might be the right move for you. The main one is simply that it can add so much extra style to your truck. No matter how good your vehicle looks now, it can always look better with nicer badges, lettering, and emblems to highlight the grille, tailgate, and panels.

The second reason is that it allows you a chance to customize and personalize your vehicle. This is a chance to make your truck look not just better than before, but unlike the other trucks on the road.

And finally, sometimes it’s just practical. If your emblems and badges are showing wear and tear or falling apart, or if you’ve been involved in an accident and have damaged badges, then you’ll want to replace them.

Picking the Right Emblems and Badges

When it comes time to purchase and install new emblems and badges, there are a few things to keep in mind, and a few choices you’ll have to make.

The Material

Emblems and badges come in a few different materials, and for the most part they’re just a matter of personal choice. Some people prefer the looks of certain materials over others, and sometimes certain materials can be more affordable. In general, all emblems and badges will be made out of strong and durable material, though hard plastic is preferable for a lot of people who use their F-150 for work, which might make their truck susceptible to scratches.

The Finish

The finish is more important than the material for emblems and badges, because this is where the style really comes in. But, just as with the material, it’s mostly just a matter of personal preference. Chrome and carbon fiber are among the most popular finishes for emblems, badges, and lettering, and for good reason. Chrome is especially popular on work trucks and for people who like to keep their truck clean and show-worthy, since it really will make your F-150 shine and look legit. Carbon fiber is a hot choice for anyone who wants to make their Ford look sleek and aggressive. A lot of drivers also opt for a basic color, whether it’s one that matches the exterior paint on their truck or complements it. The options are limitless, and it’s really just about finding the finish that matches the style you’re hoping to achieve with your F-150.

Lighted Options

In addition to picking the material and the finish, you can choose between a standard emblem and a lighted one. LED grille emblems have become increasingly popular in recent years, as a way to add some additional style and flare to your truck. With a lighted emblem like this Putco Luminix option, the Ford logo will light up at night, which looks absolutely amazing. If you’re trying to make your truck look stylish 24 hours a day, then a lighted option is perfect for you.

Personalization

Far and away, the most common badges and emblems for F-150 drivers are the basic Ford logo for the front, and “F-150” lettering for the rear.
