Bronco Script

[cfm56doc]

As some may know, we bought our Bronco last month as a used rig. The wife really likes the Bronco script vs the Outerbanks diamond that is on the front fenders. But here is my issue.

Previous owner had PPF applied, but when I lift the edge of the OB diamond, I can clearly see they applied the PPF around the OB diamond. So now if I remove the OB diamond to install the Bronco script, there will be a triangle of missing PPF.

The way I see it, my wife has a few options.

1. Remove the OB diamond and put script on and live with the PPF missing from that area.

2. Remove OB diamond and have a shop try to cut a piece of PPF to fill in where the OB diamond was and then script on top of that. But will see joining lines in PPF.

3. Leave the OB diamond and see if the script works either above, below or to side of the OB diamond.

4. Remove the PPF and OB diamond, install new PPF and script on top of the PPF. (Most expensive route I am not paying that kind of money just to have the script added).

5. Do nothing and learn to live with it as is.

Anyone have any recommendations for a possible solution?

Option 4 should be option 1 because it's what your wife wants, which also makes it the only viable solution (not to mention the only one that will look good, which is also what she wants).

Happy wife, happy life.

Clearly option #4 is the way to go.

6. Do nothing for now - sleep on it a bit. After 6 months or a year, it may not even be a thing on her mind. It's not like you're racing everyone to be first with the script, because everyone and their grandmother has them.

To be honest, the only real option for me is to do absolutely nothing.

As for the happy wife crap, she just got this so she better be happy for a LONG time. Actually she if pretty frugal and I don't think she would be happy spending $500 or what ever it cost to have the PPF taken off and reapplied just so she can add $50 script.

Thanks for the replies.

While I don't have the PPF issue, I am looking to relocate the badlands sasquatch badge near the bottom of the quarter panel to make room for the script. Do you know if it is an option to use the same decal once it has been removed? New ones are ridiculously expensive at over $50 each. Or is it as simple as applying new adhesive to the decal?

How about letting her make the decision.

Yep. I was one of the first to order the script as soon as I saw it a few years ago on this forum. I didn't get my Bronco for 2 years, so by the time I got the Bronco I didn't want the script and sold them. I still like it, but I just didn't care as much as I did the day I saw them.

I've seen more robust badges for each trim and I'm thinking about going that route. But for now... i'm sticking with stock.

What is this PPF and script you speak of?

Option #69 - Just remove the PPF on the panel yourself along with the diamond, apply new PPF yourself and then the script?

Happy wife, happy life.

You will be VERY unhappy (no more "happy life") when your wife becomes unhappy, which they all do after some time. Me? I don't care if they are "happy". When they become visibly unhappy, I change them for a happy model.

Rattle can and Bronco Script stencil. So many color options! Leave the sticker and work around it.

Another option -- apply the Retro stripe kit from Ford and leave the trim level decal in place. The Bronco script is part of the stripe, and it looks fine with the trim level decals. The stripes look great with Velocity Blue, too.

This. Women are never consistently happy. I have an amazing wife and an amazing life, but she's just as unpredictable and inconsistent as any other female I've ever encountered.

Chris Rock once said "You can f*ck a woman with a diamond dick and make her c*m ten times, and
she'll still complain. Why'd you make me c*m so hard? This diamond d*ck is cloudy. Why didn't you go to Tiffany's? You're so f*cking cheap."

Go script, see if you notice the ppf missing. I doubt you will. Also decals can be moved multiple times and reapplied.
