Replaced the Front Grill Ford Emblem on a 2025 ST

As the title says, it happened. But I am posting because of the way it happened. I have been waiting to swap the FenFab front emblem until I installed my FMIC because I have been reading that in order to do so, either the bumper cover needed to be removed or you could pull back the top of the front bumper cover a bit to access or you could drill out the factory emblem plastic posts using a template. These steps may be necessary for the 2020 - 2024 ST grills but are not for the 2025 ST grills. I was actually able to access the emblem fasteners through the grill itself. The openings on the 2025's are large enough to reach in with your fingers and touch the 10mm fasteners. I used a 1/4 ratchet, attached a string to its handle to be sure I didn't drop it behind the bumper cover and put some electrical tape in the 10mm socket to ensure the nut did not fall out of the socket head once removed. I also added a piece of cardboard as a deflector as a little protection from a dropped nut just in case. The pictures tell the story.

I think the billet FenFab emblem looks great with it's matt finish.
