I do feel like there is something missing on the sides. Most vehicles have some sort of badge on the side, so it does give you a slight feeling that something should be there. At the same time, I'm not crazy about putting the tailgate badge on the side...because that doesn't belong there either. It would be nice if there was some sort of smaller logo or icon that could be placed there. I'm not aware of any.

I also think that if you're going to put the tailgate badge on the side, it needs to be higher, closer to eye level. It's writing after all. If was a decal covering both doors in a rocker style that happen to have writing on it, that would be different.

For me personally, I put ruby red over my tailgate badges on a black truck, and really like the contrast. Going to do the same for the front grill. It feels like there should be something on the sides too, not sure yet. I do have the factory bedside graphics, which I may still pull off.

Although you don't have as many color options at rappygraphics, they actually have the exact colors available on Raptors in everything they carry. You don't need to guess that 'dark red" is close enough to 'ruby red'. I know from experience that they are also really helpful at whatever custom images and colors you may want.

I've purchased from Rocky Mountain and Rappy, both are equally good to work with. Sometimes a shade lighter or darker (or a completely different color) works best due to the contrast. The inserts on the Lightening Blue SCAB I posted are actually a little lighter than the truck. Good luck.....
