Hood Graphic

[Blukrom]

Ive been looking at the hood graphic on the 2012. From the pictures on the ford site it looks textured. Has anyone seen one first hand? Im leaning towards adding it to my order but i cant get a good feel for it in the photos. Also for those of you that have the current graphic, is it easier or harder to keep up than the paint? I picture something wiped across will leave a scratch or trying to get some bird shit off having to rub harder would screw it up too.

This video was posted in another thread and it had some good shots of the hood graphic.

I don't think it's textured.

pretty sure if you read the press releases it mentions about the hood graphic having a texture to match the texture of the plastics, and in the pics it does seem to have a textured appearance.

Looking at the video it's hard to tell if it is textured. But is the Raptor logo blue, or is it just an artifact of the video/compression?

It's blue.

Seriously? So if I got a red 2012 with the hood graphic... I would have a blue logo on my truck?

WTF Ford?

What about the upkeep?? Paint I can rub out. Is this thing going to look like shit in a year with the sun and elements?

Sorry to hijack your thread Blukrom.

I'd like an answer to your question too, as I am seriously looking at the hood graphic.

Found this on Adams polishes forum. Doesn't answer the question on durability, but is pretty good info regarding care.

This link from Ford's site shows it as gray and black.

So confused.
