Will it be red/white/blue like the original tag?
That's my plan. I'm also kicking around the idea of just replicating the badge from scratch with each owner's VIN machined in and color filled per OEM. This would save shipping back and forth and any possibility of losing the badge in shipping. You will also have your original FIRST EDITION plate intact for collector purposes, as a bonus. Thoughts?
This is a much better idea! I'm in if you do it this way, but may wait awhile if it involves shipping back and forth in case Ford decides to do something directly. Also, I don't love the risk of losing it in the mail if a replacement can't be ordered.
I'd much prefer this option. This is definitely the route to go. I'd definitely be in for the new fe badge option.
This is a much better approach!
I'll check with my FORD contacts to see what their thoughts are around it.I'd much prefer this option. This is definitely the route to go. I'd definitely be in for the new fe badge option.
Question. Have you considered a 55th anniversary badge? The first bronco was a 1966 model so even though it came out in late 1965, it was produced as a 1966 model so technically as 2021 models, we have a 55th anniversary edition as well.
They had a crappy one on ebay, but im sure you could do a much better job.
If there is room a 1966-2021 or something to tie in that it is the 55th anniversary since the first bronco or 1966 model year would be cool. If they don't like my above idea you said you'd run by them. A separate badge is still best to me for it, but this offers a compromise.
excellent3D scans of our FE console badge is happening today. 1:1 replica badge in billet aluminum with VIN will now be easily attainable.
