Cobra on Grille Repair Question

[bpmurr]

I didn't see anything on my questions searching. I apologize if this has already been discussed. The black part of the Cobra on my grille has a few chips. I want to take a shot at painting those areas to fix it. Is the Cobra easily removed? If so can a new one be purchased from Ford if I screw up or do you have to buy the whole upper grille? Thanks!

If it comes of like the one on my 07 it's very easy and they can be purchased separately from the grille.

Try not to screw it up, the OEM ones aren't cheap.
Also, when I put my screens in, I removed the grill to make it easier to work on. Only took a few minutes, held in by push tabs.
While I had it out, I painted my grill snake.

Yes they can be bought seprately and are double sided sticky taped to the grill. The emblem is like $75 or so.
