Looks good. Be interesting to see this on another silver one that has the factory stickers too.

Where'd your "Raptor" tailgate emblem and your "6.2L" door emblems go?

definitely smoke the tail lights before passing judgment. this could look sick. at the most i say remove the black accents on in front of the tail lights.

Love the honesty.

So... Here's what I think I am going to do...

Remove the accents in front of the lights, redo the tailgate panel in matte black, and apply tail light vinyl to smoke the lights.

The good news is that I am feeling really good about my vinyl applying skills.

I'm at the point where I would feel comfortable working on someone else's vehicle.

There was all kinds of complex curves and cuts going on with the accents in front of the lights.

I think you did a good job and looks better than the platinum, but I'm still not a fan. Maybe it would look better with matte and the dark taillights.

Love it or hate it, I don't think anyone can dispute that you definitely did a really nice job on the installation.

Welp.... Just placed the order for the matte and tail tint. We'll see how it goes. I'll be sure to post up the results.

A little nervous about the tail tint. I haven't done wet vinyl application before.

Guess there is always something new to learn!
