2018 black looks like King Ranch

[dieseldude]

Its at the Dealer! YES.
I ordered this January 29, 2017.
It was converted to a 2018 order in late June, Production date, 8/4/2017.
Arrived at the dealer 8/31/2017.
I can't pick it up until 9/12/2017... Road Trip to Wyoming.
I posted the photo because the fender flare paint is different than the 2017. It is similar to the King Ranch paint configuration. What do you think?

As you can see in this photo, it is NOT like the King Ranch. The original photo had boor lighting and optics. Aside form the drama, I'm really happy with the truck.
Thanks all.

How is the fender flare paint different? Looks the same to me.

All the Shadow Black units I have seen have black fender flares, just saying...
The "Champagne" color is just like the King Ranch.
Are you saying that they are all this way?
Don't take offence, I'm just asking.
Thanks

Its the lighting making it look lighter than it is. All the ones I've seen are magnetic on the flares.

No offense taken. Every 2017 and 2018 Raptor I've seen has the same color fender flares and bumpers. There has been some debate as to the exact color, but it seems to be Satin finish Magnetic to my eye. I have a Magnetic truck and the fender flares and bumpers are a perfect color match, just the sheen is different. I have mine wrapped in XPEL Stealth, so the whole truck is now a Satin finish and the fenders/bumpers blend perfectly.

The only trucks I've seen with color matched fender flares were custom color matched after delivery, they weren't delivered from the factory that way.

Congrats on the new truck, by the way. You're going to love it!

I think it is the lighting also, look at the tire and the running boards, they have a champagne tint to them also. I would double check before you pick up, I had a bumper on my 14 damaged in transit and they tried to replace it with a king ranch bumper, luckily i had a good sales rep who caught it before i traveled 100 miles to pick up and he switched me into another truck they had in stock

This is what looks odd to me...Look at the panel behind the rear wheel - it looks like it's color-matched to the fender flares?

Is the 2017 like that? Ford site shows 2018 is color matched to the flares.

Nope, it matches the fender flares in all trucks
