Default FX4 Decals - Keep'em or Lose'em?

Although I like the FX4 decals I think they're a little too loud and I like the 'Blackout' look. Just wanted to get some opinions. Should I keep them, lose them, or replace with something darker?

That's a nice looking truck! I say keep them. I think it compliments the red accent on the fender badge

It's all a personal choice, but many of us remove the stickers, infact often as soon as we take delivery of our new trucks.

I removed the "4times4" decals on my '13 but did it too late and it left a ghost image in the paint that I couldn't get out. Color sanded, cut and polished. It was still there! I liked the clean look of no decals but couldn't handle the image left in the paint.
​​​​​​​I found some nice options at "Aftershock" Decals online. They have many different Ford style decal sets in many different color schemes. Check them out if you like!

I love the fx4/4x4 decals.
Maybe go with a subdued decal

I toyed with that the same idea.I left my on for now but I removed my SE graphics. I'm looking for a more ghosted FX4 decal rather than complete nakedness.

Thanks, Mike. I do like these from Aftershock. I may remove them and if I'm not happy with how it looks then maybe I'll go with these. They're a little more subdued.
