I plan on plastidipping mine. Down side is you have to remove the front bumper to remove the grille. So Im thinking just mask off rough around the grille, dip, remove the extra.

I plan on doing the same to the grille on my Ranger this summer. I have the honeycomb style but I actually wouldn't mind the bar style. I think I might paint the badge black too and get a V6 badge off an Escape or something and put it there

I'm going to a junkyard today, i think i may look for a v6 badge off an explorer of the same vintage and stick it on my tailgate

That would work. I keep hoping I might find something at work but I haven't yet. Although I have ended up with two of the new style rectangle Ranger badges. They're both XLT badges so they match my truck. Maybe I'll use them. One's glued on my toolbox for now

I actually like my ranger badges better than newer ones, but I plan on updating my taillights at some point

I do too, to the 06+ ones. I already have a passenger side one (again, through work) that came off a wrecked truck. The lens has some scratches on it but it's perfect to me. I'm kinda waiting on another coming up before I go buy one. Honestly I'd love to get a pair of LED tails but they're $$$.

And yes I do like the standard Ranger badge better too. I have those because "Hey you drive a Ranger, want these?" Once I put fiberglass fenders on up front I think I'll leave the badges off

If your ranger is the same gen as mine, you cant do leds. Well, you cant without an electrical conversion. Our electrical system cant handle leds

Mines an 01. I figured there was some electrical work to be done. For the price of them they'll probably never happen anyhow. There's more important things that can be done, like a 5.0 swap and long travel suspension.
