New guy, SC, ‘14, 1st Raptor, graphics question

If the bedside is too much try removing only the flag and go from there. Leave the raptor graphics. Might dial it back enough to not mess with the ADD.

Welcome to the forum and glad to have hopefully another Clemson Tiger fan. For comparison, this is my white gen 1 with the stock graphics other than the grille.

Congratulations on a good looking Gen 1. When I was looking for a Raptor, I didn’t want graphics, but found one with them and they grew on me. Now I like them and really can’t imagine not having them. Give a few weeks and then make your decision on the graphics, either way you have won.

If you aren't sure on the graphics, then do nothing right now and see if your opinion changes. Those graphics aren't cheap, and once you pull them off, you won't get them back on.

Personally, I think the bedside looks good on your truck. I like the black hood as well. Not so much for the lettering on the hood, but that is less visible, and not sure you can get that off without taking off the entire hood.

The graphic on the does help some with glare under certain conditions.

Just got mine back in August and it has almost the same bed side graphic as yours. I was on the fence at first but like mine and plan on keeping them. It had a hood decal similar to yours but it was installed poorly and I pulled it off. It was crooked and had some bubbles.

Great looking truck and welcome. Looks expensive. And check on Fuse 27 on YouTube as this is a common problem with Gen 1's. Easy fix. I'm for the hood graphic not only because glare is lessened driving into the sun, but also being an 18 wheeler owner operator, I can tell by the graphic when a Raptor sneaks up on me from behind and it's not just a F150 wanna be Raptor. I'm not a fan of the side graphics but to each his own. What I don't like is the blacked out taillight covers. Trying to see the vehicle in front of you on foggy or rainy mornings is hard enough without making it harder. Just a safety issue for me being on the road all the time.

Love the purchase, I live in Atlanta and was actually looking at that exact truck to purchase too! Found a blue flame here in town that I couldn’t pass up so I‘m glad that one went into good hands. Enjoy and like others have said, let them marinate a little while and then decide what you want to do, but being low key is likely not an option lol.

I like the graphics, I say keep 'em. Anyway, you liked it enough to buy it

 

[TomDirt]

I hate it. I think it's horrible. So horrible, in fact, that I'll do you a solid. I'll trade you straight across for mine right now.

Hood graphics look good. Sides are ok. Congrats on the new truck.
