Default 2018 Sport Appearance Decals - keem em or leave em?

Looking for some help. I'm just about to order a race red lariat with the sport appearance package. I'm having a real hard time deciding whether to opt to not have the decals added. Does anyone have some pictures with and without these decals?

I've got one on order as well. The decals are easily removed, especially if the truck is brand new, and you don't get any discount for doing the delete. Order it with the decals, decide if you like them or not, then remove them if you want. I also couldn't get it clear if the "graphics delete" code *only* deleted the graphics on the doors/bed/hood/tailgate, or if it also deleted the black/red F150 badging.

I know a few people on here kept the hood decal and removed the doors, which may be exactly what I do.

so you order a truck with race red lariat with the sport appearance package in which you pay for decals whether you opt to have decals added or not. the decals are about half the cost of sport appearance package . I'm sure ford will like that.

I know the '18 SE, has slightly different side stripes than the '16s and the Lariat has more color to it, but I think they look great on Race Red trucks. My '16 XLT Race Red gets more compliments than you could imagine. Of course I've done a few other things, ie. Raptor style flares and grille and Mayhem Assault wheels with red accents that match the Race Red. I even get comments from Chevy and Ram owners. And, yeah, my hat doesn't fit anymore. You don't see many SEs in Race Red. SE's weren't available until late 2016 and Race Red SE was not an option in 2017. To be honest, if I had it to do over, and because I have changed almost all the SE specific items, I would just order a Race Red XLT Sport and add the hockey stripes.

I took all mine off the next day. Not a fan. These trucks have such nice clean lines, the decals ruin them IMO. Maybe the color doesn't help you much being white, but at least you can have a look:

I'm a little confused...

Are we talking about the "Sport Appearance Package" or the "Lariat Special Edition Package"?

As far as I know, the Sport only has small box decals, no hood or hockey sticks.

I've got one on order and they're coming off day 1. At least in Canada, the "delete" wasn't an option.
