Like how you blacked out the oval. I've seen vinyl/sticker overlays and where guys take apart this rear camera housing and then also paint the Ford logo and then the chrome. Are you going to spray it gunmetal while on the tailgate or remove?

I'll try to post up a new thread, FRF really needs to add local chapters so we can easily coordinate up local GTG's!

It looks easy to take off as long as I can get the camera out. I can sand it easier and do a much better paint job. I already snapped the 2 plastic tabs on the oval pc while trying to remove it, be careful if your gonna try this. Called the dealer and had them order me a new one. I don't feel bad since I just dropped 50 gs on this thing.

From how I understand it, the ford emblems over the camera housing can't be removed without breaking tabs on back. I agree that this chrome has to go and I am going to wait a couple more months until I can spray this housing outside- sounds like just a couple screws hold this to tailgate.
Not trying to jack your thread here, but one more thing, you're going want to get rid of the other eyesore on the back, the 3rd brake light. Good info on another thread about tinting. Couple different products people using- I used Night-shades with excellent result.

Ok I went on friday and had the front windows tinted to match the back, blacked out the rear lights, third brake light and the reflectors on the side mirrors. The beast is looking darker and nastier everyday!
