Opinion On Tailgate Appliqué

[BajaLaz]

Just wanted some opinions on two different style cf tailgate appliqués. Not sure if I should keep it looking Oem or like the clean look of the other.

Paying $600 for a piece of plastic badging seems ridiculous to me

The Shelby Raptor is the one I’m looking to switch over. It already has the appliqué. I changed over all plastic parts that are painted in magnetic grey to cf. last piece is the appliqué and just not sure if I want to keep oem look or clean it up with the “debadged” cf appliqué

Looks ok on darker trucks, but on lighter trucks its cleaner without it. I think its kind of cheesy overall. Aftermarket versions, regardless of material serve no purpose.





I replaced the OEM Ford badge with this one as well

IMO, the OEM applique looks better.

I agree. I do not like it on trucks where it does not blend in well due, but on your truck, I would leave it just the way it is. Looks good.

The factory appliques looks good on the Magnetic trucks because it blends right in to the tailgate. I was not going to order it, but since I bought mine off the lot, it already had it. I think it looks better than the 2018s that have the F150 stamp on the bottom.

The Shelby Raptor tailgate looks like an add-on sticker underneath the applique, so it should be easy to apply to any Raptor.
