**WINTER SPECIAL** Black "FORD" tailgate ovals **GROUP BUY**

[Billet Badges]

Figured I should go ahead and post my pics too. Install was easy as pie with a little help from a heat gun, goo gone, and a plastic grout scraper.

Thank you for the picture!! That is the first 9" oval on a Raptor that doesn't have the back up camera.

For those of you that have not seen Billet Badge's 6.2L badges, here is a shot of mine. Awesome quality, also got a set of 379 CID badges for the hood.

Just finished mine, decided to use duplicolor truck bed liner for a textured look on the outer bezel.

Looks great!
Only question, does it fit correctly or is the new badge a little over size for the camera bezel?

You can see here on the pic of mine where I painted the bezel, that the white part sticks out beyond the bezel. Mine's a 2012.

I was wondering how you made it work with the billet badge, I just assumed it was recessed in the back and only was held on by 3M around the perimeter.

Where did you buy the paint for the bezel?
Does it match the other badges on the tailgate as far as the bezel paint?
Also, does your new billet badge fit properly on the origina bezel?l

The white plastic part of the bezel will need to be trimmed off flush on trucks with the back up camera.

Birdman, since you brought up the spacer idea. How many people would like to increase the cost of the oval by about $20 to either have a spacer machined to offset the oval or to have the backside of the oval cored out for clearance. I would most likely do the second option to keep the oval from sticking out further than necessary. Or would you rather save $20 and trim the plastic off?

I already have mine and did the shave part, however if presented with the option of + $20.00 for a easier install, I would of done that. Of course my vote doesn't really count since I don't need two

Let me also pose this question. If we making a totally unique oval just for the back up camera trucks by coring out the back of the oval, would you prefer a bevel / chamfer outside edge instead of having a radius? Something that would angle down towards the bezel instead of coming straight out with a radius as seen below. If I bevel the edge, the Ford script and pinstripe would need to be scaled down to compensate for the smaller outside face.



Also in this picture some of you will paint the bezel with a wrinkle finish paint. I could order a wrinkle black powder coat as an option as well. If you don't want to paint the bezel, I could keep the outside edge of the ovals polished and paint fill just the Ford script and pinstripe as another option.

Lets brainstorm some ideas for options and I will see what is possible.
