"EXPLORER" lettering on hood

[Pali]

Just got my OEM hood protector. Like the contrast of the black letters on the white but pain in the butt to clean (microfiber cloths always get caught, just like when I had my 2017 Sport). Anyway, always added extra 3m, opinions?

I remove the letters for the same reason you stated. gets caught on the micro fiber towels.

Looks clean! Question: Is that a decal over your Ford oval emblem?

 

[Pali]

The emblem is OE. Thought about the red letters for the rear and sides and changing the ST but just going to leave stock.

I like the letters.

Same here. I think it gives the ST a nice look. I wash mine every week and have no issues with the letters snagging by microfiber towels or chamois.

I can't say they aren't a little bothersome when "dragging" a waffle weave across them, but truly not an issue worth fussing over. We know they're there, just pat them dry. Truth is, I blow dry the lions share of the vehicle and pat dry the rest of the rest of it.

Now if the look of the letters offend an owner, by all means take them off.
