Got the Raptor back from the Graphics Shop

[JB 2014 Raptor SCrew]

Same here. Most of my vehicles have always been black...it's my favorite color. And so I intended to dealer order a black Raptor. But one weekend, I was out window shopping at dealerships and I saw this white one. The salesman comes up to me, and I told him I wasn't interested in white... but after I left, for the next day or 2, I just kept thinking about this white one. I went back to the dealer and bought it.

A few things I like about a white Raptor over a black one... the dark/black Raptor accents really contrast perfectly with white. The black Raptors just don't catch your eye as much. Even now, I'll nearly pass by a black one before I realize it's a Raptor...whereas white will catch my attention a mile away - especially with graphics. Plus any scratches or off road pin striping are less noticeable on white. But the MOST IMPORTANT reason, white looks relatively clean even when it's a little dirty. Maintaining a large black vehicle, is like having a 2nd job...although beautiful when clean, I just don't have the time to satisfy my OCD to keep black looking perfect

Thanks

I just sprayed the mirrors with plasti dip.

Exactly why I ordered White instead of Tuxedo. Don't get me wrong, Tuxedo Black is probably one of the sexiest colors I've ever seen in my life, but I just can't imagine having to keep that clean all the time since my Raptor will be my daily driver. I'm building a new house this spring ( whenever spring finally gets here) and my property is on a dirt road. I'm only roughly 3/10 of a mile off the main road which is paved, but still that 3/10 would be enough to make that black look dirty all the time. I have a black Mustang that will only be driven on sunny days, and when the road leading out of my property is dry. But that still will be a PITA to keep it clean. At least with white, I'll be able to take it to the .25 car wash and give it a quick rinse and it will freshen it up between detailed washes.


I like how the black mirrors look. I can see me taking those to my buddy to have him spray them gloss black or satin black. The stripes look good.

What % tint is that? Is that 5% all the way around? I was gonna do the driver and passenger windows to match the factory tint, but yours looks really good.

Do you have a pic of your truck with the windows tinted WITHOUT the decals added to it? I ordered a '14 White SCrew with the same wheels and no decals. I wanna see what that looks like (without the bike in the picture) . And if possible, do you have one with the mirrors done and without the decals too? I'd like to see that


What all options does your truck have?

It is the standard 800A package. The only options are the beadlock wheels, and I had a factory trailer brake controller installed by the dealership.

I only tinted the front door windows (20%) to match...the back door windows and the rear window are just the factory tint.

Unfortunately, the closest pictures I have to what you are looking for, are then ones taken when she was new at the dealership. I don't have any showing the front doors tinted, except the one with my bike beside it. All the other pictures I've taken since they were tinted, the front windows were rolled down in the picture - and that does us no good LOL

That's cool, no biggie. The windows look a lot darker than just matching the factory tint. Must be because of the white makes it pop out more. I had an 03 Mustang GT that had 20% on the sides and 5% on the back window. When I got a ticket for the tint, I had to pull it off and go to PD to show them it was removed and pay the fine. When I went to PD to show them, the desk SGT never came outside. I was furious. Had I known he wasn't going to come outside to verify , I wouldn't have taken the tint off. So my tint guy has a policy that if you get pulled over, he will re apply the front tint for $50. So when he came to do my windows a 2nd time I had him do 5%. I figured F it. If I'm gonna get stopped again, it doesn't matter if its 20 or 5% My '11 FX4 has tint to match the factory windows. I'll prob just do that on my '14

Looks amazing, white with graphics is a great contrast of breaking up all the white
