You're probably better off going with aftermarket like a Borla or something better than stock

Looking closely at photos, I think the raptor badge is applied on a flat surface. Maybe someone with a raptor can chime in on that.

The badge goes on a flat surface but the area is recessed down a couple of millimeters (dont have specific measurement).

Looks like Borla is doing true dual exhaust and turbo upgrades for the 3.5L EcoBoost

Maybe they will have a true dual exhaust for the 2.7L Eco and 5.0L in the future

You will have to cut all the clips and bolts off then I am assuming use 3M tape to stick it on. Would be best to get a tailgate from one and swap over.

What is the fun in getting a new tail gate and swap it over

Also the picture of the truck with the applique already off, dont think its a Raptor. Look at the bumper and tail lights area, they are different. Granted it may still mount the same way with all of those holes.

After doublechecking I believe you are right, the top one looks like a platinum or king ranch. BLIS tail lights, etc. But I bet mounting is prolly the same... gets me thinkin... Find a used platinum tailgate on craigslist or similar, buy the raptor applique... BOOM
