PPF over the emblem?

[run2savelives]

I am sure this is a ridiculous question. I am clueless on most things here but you all are teaching me a ton and I am grateful. I picked up my Wildtrak a week ago and am getting it wrapped today. They just reached out asking how I want to handle the Wildtrak emblem on the front fender. Wrap over it or remove it, order a new one and apply it after it is wrapped. I saw threads about the hood but not this side decal.

On my Badlands they cut around it. Can't notice unless you are really looking for it. But i wish i would have took it off. Then i could have left it off or put it back on. Now if i take it off ill have a hole in my ppf there.

I would not there will be a air gap all the way around it. I would have it removed. Install the PPF and put new emblems over the PPF.

When I got Xpel PPF, the installer asked me if I wanted to leave my Badlands fender badges or remove them. I opted to keep them, and their template removed a triangle where the Badlands logo is. The film pretty much goes to the very edge of the logo, it’s pretty slick.

I don’t think the fender badges can be removed and reapplied. If you decide to remove them, you could buy a new set and install on top of the film. I personally wouldn’t have them install PPF over the badge.

Thanks! Having it removed. I am still torn on the hood emblem. I think the cut is around it then I will have ceramic coating at least to protect the decal.

Edit needed PPF. Rushing cause the shop is waiting

I'm going to try to remove mine myself and save them for reapplication. I believe if you heat the decals a bit with a hair dryer they'll come right off. I plan to take one of those big Summit Racing decals I'm always throwing away, and just use the backing part of it to attach the decals and then reapply after PPF. I don't want to trap the decals under PPF, in case I want to do something different later.

Good call. I echo what others wrote. I left my script on and they cut around it. Now I want to get the ADV script badges but I'll have a weird outline left over. PPF the entire vehicle and replacing the badge gives you more options later.

Are installers removing the flares before installing full fender PPF? I assume so, but am curious if any have not. Mine is going to the shop next week.

As they aren't actual badges but just stickers it's an easy decision for me - remove the sticker. Proper PPF application is expensive, those stickers are cheap. Take the sticker off, apply the PPF, then do nothing for a while and determine if you actually miss the sticker. If you do either reapply the ones you took off (assuming they were/are salvageable) or put new ones on. You might find you like it "clean" or you want something different (scripts, custom logo's, etc.). In any case you've helped assure the $$$ you spent on PPF to protect your paint isn't derailed by a cheap-ass sticker. If I absolutely wanted to preserve the original "look" I'd search out for suppliers that make actual badges that resemble the stickers and use those instead.

I had mine removed and asked to keep the stickers. Mine are still usable after being removed. I ordered AR fender badges to replace the factory stickers

I had my fender sticker removed and liked the clean look so I never put them back on or ordered anything else. My daily drivers have been debaged for decades and I might even remove the rear Bronco logo. It’s not like anybody but the most clueless have a hard time identifying it as a Ford Bronco without a badge.

Soon my adult daughter will be buying this one and my ‘23 Eruption Green one arrives as it’s been sitting at the rail yard in St. Paul MN just 25 miles from my dealer for over a week. They are backed up due to all the snow we’ve had this winter. My dealer is expecting to deliver 14 Broncos, mostly to early reservation holders, in the next 10 days.

7/20/20 reservation with MIC, Sasquatch, and all the sins except tow.
