Default 2018 Raptor Style Tailgate Applique Panel Installed
Just put a Raptor Style tailgate applique on my 2018 last night and thought I'd share some pictures. I took the panel apart and painted it Shadow Black, the ford letters I kept the matte Magnetic like they originally are on a Raptor.






Of course a few pics with the helpers.

Im a fan of 2018 front end and I also dig his black and white color look. I've always liked a black and white scheme on a vehicle.

Have you thought about doing your roof black too? Wonder how it'll look on an f150. Maybe I'll have to do some photoshopping when I get home


Like the new Volvo xc40. Looks damn good imo.

eBay! China special lol! I actually received the panel broken but the seller was great and we were able to work out a reasonable deal for me to keep the panel and fix it myself for a partial refund vs. sending it back and them attempting to send another poorly packaged panel.

It turned out okay where I fixed it, I'm by no means a professional with body work or painting. I had to fill in some holes where an F-150 emblem came on the panel (I thought the emblem and the embossed tailgate would be F-150 overkill) so I knew it was going to require some work on my end to begin with.

If the question about the black roof is directed at me, yes it's something on my list as a must do
