[QUOTE="swoop1156, post: 1920836, member: 580"] Okay fine, Antimatter Blue. [I]Signature Navy[/I], as Lincoln calls it just sounds better. Moving on... Hello (again) formally, FRF-Community! I see a ton of new usernames here, some I do not see that I was used to back in the day, though this place is still such a wealth of information. Glad to be back, although I've been back on the site for a few months since picking up my '22 Antimatter Blue 37PP. I had a '23 on order in Azure Gray, though I canceled that one when I ran across my current truck, used, in another state, with just 2,000 miles. This is the fourth Raptor I've owned after [URL='https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/swoop1156s-black-6-2-supercab.1404/']my first 2010 Tuxedo Black Supercab 6.2[/URL], [URL='https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/swoop1156s-silver-6-2-crewcab.3857/']my second 2011 Ingot Silver Crewcab[/URL], and [URL='https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/im-back-in-black.22683/']my third 2013 Tuxedo Black Crewcab[/URL]. In between, there's been a Focus ST, Edge ST, three Mustangs (still have one of them), an F150 FX4, an Audi, (still have the) Lincoln, three motorcycles, and on and on. Extremely happy and grateful to be back in a Raptor and back in the continental USA as well as even back in the USA period. That said, this'll be a thread that I try to keep updated with things I do to the truck to personalize it to my taste and use case. Already have done some, so let's dig in. The truck came equipped with what appears to be the BakFlip of sorts triple-section hard tonneau with the Ford logo.

I also have had the paint corrected, completely wrapped in gloss SunTek PPF with S&P ceramics on top and GlassParency on all glass.
