Delete it, that way you don't have to post questions three years from now about how to replace it when it cracks, fades or starts rattling because a clip is broken.

GET IT!

Otherwise your badass Raptor will look like every base model F-150 from the back.

From behind is where every other F150 will see your Raptor...

We are pretty sure it has the new 2018 tailgate stamped with the "f150"

A member went to the plant recently and told us they saw the stamped tailgate on a Raptor. Like this:

I was the one recently at the factory tour on July 28. I saw a white Raptor right below me in the "customer acceptance" area that had the appliqué deleted. It looked exactly like the picture of the blue one above - stamp, Ford oval and Raptor badge.

I know there isn't a picture to show you guys proof, but I ordered mine with the delete and was specifically checking every Raptor out I could see in hopes of seeing one with the delete... I am 100% certain that the F-150 stamp was there.

I think the stamp sticks out less on the lighter color. Having said that, lighting and shadowing will affect how noticeable it looks at a given time. I like the appliqué on the darker colors (black being my fav with the appliqué), but the lighter the color gets (more contrast between the color and the appliqué), the less I like the black appliqué. While I would prefer it without the F-150 stamp like the MY17 tailgate, I'm still glad I deleted the appliqué on my Ingot Silver that I'm anxiously waiting to receive.
