I'm glad they are composite. A couple years back, we had one inch hail. I got twenty six divots on my Super Duty hood and fenders. I had zero divots on the Raptor hood and fenders. Both trucks parked side by side, nose into the storm. Composite for the win.

Yeah you have to look at it from different angles to see any difference.

Won't rust either.

I stared at mine this morning for about a 1/2 hour. Fell back in love with it. Aftermarket fenders, stock hood, stock valance - I can't tell a difference. They aren't Ford GT's, they are badass off road vehicles that don't belong in the showroom under fluorescent lighting. Out in the wild at wide open throttle, I can't see my front end and never notice other truck's paint differences when they are airborne!!! Everything on this truck looks better dirty with bug guts all over it anyway......

When mine are covered in mud and dirt, I can't see a difference. So I just always try and keep them dirty. No Problem.

It doesn't bother me. I can't tell the difference. It's covered in a large carport when I'm not driving her, so it doesn't sit in the sun for long periods.

You can not tell the difference looking at it straight on or from the side but if you work your way around the rear of the truck towards the cab. You can tell the difference.
