I know it is all personal preference and opinion but here goes:

Do I remove the 4x4 decals or not? I have had the truck for 7.5 weeks and can't decide...

 

Noooooooooo.....

 

Remove and replace with Platinum bedside badges

 

If you have had it for 7.5 weeks already, then it doesn't bother you enough to remove them or you already would have.

I personally think on a 5.5' bed you can go either way, but on the 6.5' bed the decals help to break up the area visually. Without them the bed side is too large and "open". Like you said, it is all just personal preference though...

 

The Super Duty Platinum has no sticker so why does the F150 Platinum have a sticker. That says it all...................................

 

Actually avoided FX4 because I wanted to add skid plates myself and didn't want the FX4 sticker. At the time, I didn't realize the 4x4 came with a decal as well...

 

Don't know if this will help. Sorry, for the dark pics it was getting late after I removed them.

 

I had mine removed by the dealer before taking delivery. I love the clean sheet look.

 

On the red truck I would be tempted to remove them. I have a white truck and it needs something to help set it off and the stickers help. Personally I kind of like them.

 

If they're not bothering you, I say leave 'em.
