Crooked Retro Badge drives you crazy?

[MayhemMike]

3M makes miles of that tape everyday. Use some fishing line and a heat gun. Heated a bit, then just like using dental floss ( I am taking for granted you are familiar with dental hygiene tools) pull the line back and forth while moving through the back of the name plate. BTW, anytime you want to stick one of these sort of things on to a vehicle or such, only remove small parts of the tape backing. Leave the backing removed hanging off the tape. You can then set the name plate into the position you like , and once there hold the plate with some pressure and then pull the tape tags off the rest of the way. Having only a couple of small attaching points makes it way easier to adjust.

I think they look straight and all the script ones look crooked to me. I think it’s just the body lines that throw something off. I really liked the script emblems but I know It would drive me crazy that think they were crooked.

It’s an imperfect world, leave it.

You should be more worried if you have a 2.7 Ecobomb sitting under the hood.

Your Bronco emblems look fine. You f*ck with them trying to achieve some OCD level of unattainable perfection and karma is going to kick you in the ass by letting you mess up that fantastic shine or paint.

Just walk away Renee. When the job is done, just walk away.

Do you have a full pic of the vehicle? Love the look of the all-black Wildtrak 2-Door.

Damnit, tried my best to get this straight by making templates and measurements with tape and still got it dumb. What would you do? It seems that trying to pull it off will destroy the adhesive.

A. Is it my imagination
B. Order another set and try again
C. Buy some best reviewed double sided tape and re~diy apply

Looks great to me you did a nice job I think

You're the only one who knows, it is as close to perfect as you can get....according to your pictures

The script badges are tricky. If you look at the B, the bottom edge is lower than the rest of the letters. If you line up the “B”and the “o” with the body lines the badge will be crooked. Line up the bottom of the “r” and the “o." Let the "B" come along for the ride. Should look straight. Disclaimer: This is a SWAG.

That’s the first I heard SWAG used that way. Apparently it means a lot of things depending on the era. We used it a lot in the 90’s when it meant free shit.

How are we supposed to tell if something is level for you if you post pics of the finished product at angles that won't show if it's level? Let alone spaced properly.

Thank you! Someone finally said it.
