Color Matched Or Not Color Matched? (pics included)

[gdflynn1]

Just curious the thoughts.

1 truck is a '20 with NO color matching

1 truck is a '21 WITH color matching on the front/rear applique, bumpers and side flares.

Thoughts?

not for me. i love the contrast and think it makes the raptor a raptor. but hey, to each their own.

I’ve been debating this myself. Part of me likes the contrast, but I also think they look good painted. I’ll probably leave mine factory finish.

This. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I think color matching makes it look just like a regular f150 with a raptor grill. I personally love the contrast also, really sets the truck apart and you know it’s a raptor

It looks clean but it doesnt look like a Raptor.

Saw that, wasn't trying to create dupe threads, swear. Just that I had both trucks in driveway so figured the forum wouldn't mind some comparison photos on this wonderful new Monday.

Personally, I am not a fan. I don't think it looks bad, just not for me. Makes me think of all the Fraptors I see on the road.

Meh. It's okay, but it's not for me...

I asked the question a few days earlier….it makes it look cleaner but not a raptor …so???
Suggest you explore a (gloss black )wrap on the fenders and bumper trim.
It could be cheaper and wear better …and if you don’t like the result it or just want to return to stock, it’s not the end of the world.
