'Raptor' tailgate emblem fitment

[B.Martin]

Afternoon, all.

I'm having a dent repaired on my truck and the 'raptor' emblem installed (original owner either removed or spec'd without). Would someone mind posting up a picture showing the exact fitment for me (using a tape measure, perhaps?) so I can have the body shop get it perfect? I did a search online but can't find any specifics unfortunately.

Thanks in advance.

You're a good man!

Thanks!

Isn't that odd, though? I yanked off the dealer's emblem as soon as I moved away from his service area, but I'll be doggoned if I can figure why a Raptor owner would remove the unique emblem on his premium off-road truck. Weird.

Don't even get started on Dealer emblems, hate them. I have them remove it when I see they put it on. I've walked away from a deal and they quickly got it off. One dealer I told that they can pay me $50 a month for advertisement if they wanted to keep it on. Yeah, they always come off.

But de-badging seems to be the thing for some people. Wonder if they took off the 6.2L on the doors and the F150 on the other side of the tailgate. If not I bet perhaps that tailgate was replaced with a non-raptor one and never had the Raptor emblem on it in the first place.

I have no idea, all the other emblems are on, including the normal F150 badge. I actually assumed the original owner must have specifically asked for it to not be put on. I see no evidence that it was ever on the tailgate at all. Who knows, it's about to be rectified!

Comes from factory with it on, cannot order it without.

If it was a non-raptor tailgate that was put on (cause it got stolen) the normal F-150 badge will be on the left like normal.

Maybe the previous owner bought a Recon illuminated Raptor emblem but was either scared to drill the hole and wire it or it did not work.

One of my Raptors many mysteries...

When I purchased my used 2012 it did not have the Raptor badge? A member here had one I bought and installed.
