I've never understood why Ford decided not to put some type of distinctive badging for the First Edition visible on the exterior of the vehicle. VW did a small badge on the ID.4, so it didn't have to be something obnoxious. I'll rehash the story I told in the emblem thread where we were all lamenting the quality of the badges. Several months ago when the kids drying the car after a wash took off one of the long tails on the 'X', I removed the stock door emblems. It looked clean, but I still liked the look of the emblems. I got warranty replacements, but the dealer didn't put them on correctly and they looked absolutely awful, so I removed them. I looked around for billet aluminum replacements, but due to Ford copyrights, no one would replicate them. There was no copyright on the First Edition lettering, however, so I thought, why not bring the door sill labeling to the exterior. It took almost five months, but I got the finished product yesterday, and carefully measured where to put them on the doors to keep the symmetry. I know the look isn't for everyone, but I wanted to share with the community anyway. The mods are what make each and every one of these cars unique.
