Indeed. I had an almost identical dent but without the broken light. The dealerships collision center pounded out the dent, repainted the side, and on my 2010 replaced the graphics. The graphics were 1000$ per sheet in Canada. Total bill for the insurance company was 5000$. I looked at trading it in, and the dealer knocked 15k off the value due to the carfax report. I had a second incident and they replaced that same sheet again within two months. In the end after that one started peeling i just had the pull the graphics off, changes the look quite a bit i find


Here in Middle East, it is difficult to trade Raptor in or sell it. They will buy it for cheap price. The reason is because it is rare to see Raptor here. They think, I mean dealerships, no one would be interested in buying a Raptor, so they will knock the price down.


Anyone else had peeling off issue with replacing the side graphics?
