Raptors without Tailgate 'FORD' appliqué
#23
I'm getting Avalanche with the appliqué (just so happened to have it, I was indifferent). I wonder if anyone has tried to plasti-dip or powder coat the appliqué in body color to make it blend?

This one was posted on the forum. I think it looks good this way. I am putting one on my Race Red XLT Sport SE and was thinking of painting it to match and then doing the letters in Black. But will probably do it as originally planned, in satin black. When and if you remove it to paint, it is held on with push in clips and 2 bolts/studs. You will have to remove access panel on the tailgate to get to the nuts.

Applique came today. I can see now why it takes a different tailgate. Friend at body shop said to take off back part, the 2 pieces are held together with double sided tape and clips. It was a bit of work but now I will be able attach to tailgate with double sided tape and won't damage tailgate. Will be filling in indentations where badges were and then painting satin black. Might possibly do the letters in red, haven't made up my mind yet.

Did you ever get this installed? If so could you post some pics. Also wonder if the the Raptor badge on the applique can be removed? Thanks!

Thanks! Please post pics when you have a chance to finish. I know how that goes. I bought head lights and fender flares in Feb and still have not installed them!

Got the engine done in the F1. Still working on Nomad, but no applique on the back of my truck yet. Now you can buy the applique without the badges/indentations ready to tape on. I should have waited. Just got to get off my rear and get some things done. I just ordered brake kit and my Katzkins are waiting for me to install. I'm still going to do the applique, I'm going to check on getting it wrapped. Sorry no pics yet.
