[QUOTE="Fireman Dave, post: 1628242, member: 47298"] I just wasn't a fan of the OEM bed graphics. I really love the Ruby Red paint and they covered more of it up than I preferred. I didn't want to remove the entire thing in case it could effect re-sale value as it was an expensive option and because I wasn't going to tackle the hood graphics and I wanted to keep some continuity because just leaving the hood stripes seemed kinda weird. Using a heat gun I very carefully removed the black horizontal portion of the graphic. Those decals are THICK! They did come off relatively well however the real work began removing all of the adhesive. Had I removed the entire stripe I could have coated the entire thing with Goo Gone and let it sit a while but leaving the Raptor part I didn't want to have adhesive remover getting on the remaining decal for a prolonged period. About 4 hours later with some elbow grease and several microfibers it came out well. Tomorrow it goes out for a ceramic treatment on the paint, glass and wheels.
