Have a Ingot Silver Raptor that I have owned since the first of June. So the graphics have been on for at least 4 months in my hands. Through the hottest months of the year. Several 100F days.

Am I still in the "OK" to remove the bed graphics without a notice in paint fade, etc?
I would think so, but I would hate to remove them and that not be the case.

BTW, I am split on them. If this truck had the hood graphics I would leave them, but it doesn't and I favor the "cleaner" look.

Thoughts?

Personally I think it looks funny without the graphics, perhaps just wrap your hood to complete the look?

I am a fan of the 2012 graphics. I think the silver looks plain without the graphics. I say keep them. I have tux black and wish I had them.

LOL, great, I have been going back and forth and you guys have me leaning on the keep it direction.
Just got a call from my dealer that is going to give my info to the owner of the same set up but without graphics so we can compare side by side (if he is willing).

So to answer my question, do you think it is too late to remove them if I deceided to do so?

I just bought my 12 Ingot Silver SCAB in August from local dealer stock. It had the bed graphics on it, and I hated the way it looked. Raptor speaks volumes by itself and I did not feel like it needed the flamboyant bed graphics to say "hey look at me". I was back and forth about removal because of how expensive they were and how its just trashing a $1000 option. In the end I decided to remove, they had been on for a month and came right off no problem. I can't tell you how happy I am with my decision. Makes the truck look so much cleaner. The silver looks fantastic without them. If your on the fence about it I say ABSOLUTELY remove them!!!! You will not be disappointed.

here, on frf
i agree with you, on the "look at me" aspect of the graphics, however i think just the hood looks ok. but definitely not the sides......
