yeah, we'll see what happens. I'm definitely gonna keep messing with it until I find the look I love. Part of getting there involves getting some other stuff mounted up and sprayed-on to make it all work together. This truck is about to have a lot more done to it.

Well, I believe you will soon find out that the more black you add, the faster your truck will be.

I can see how one might get that feeling driving it, but it's merely a placebo. You won't actually experience any measurable benefit in acceleration unless the paint is actually black.

Yeah, I'm not totally sold yet on the tailgate either, but I'm doing my best to reserve judgement until more work is done. Right now it does look a bit out of place, but I think more black will help with that.

Looked at two LARGE horizontal stripes on the tailgate leaving a few inches of white between like just above and below the Ford Logo so the Factory F-150 and Raptor badges stay visible in the white strip.

I am gonna have the local Vinyl place duplicate my personal license plate at scale and apply it just below where the factory mount is and run it down and around onto the skid plate. We get LEO's that use the NO FRONT PLATE to pull us over. So if its there from a distance they will leave me alone. I HATE front plates. The OEM front bracket is coming off soon!

I have not had a front plate permantly on ANY car or truck for the last 32 years! Been stopped 3 times in the last year and warned. The Vett will NEVER have a front plate of any kind. Its a fine not a moving violation. I will pay the ticket every time.

I like the hood setup better than the factory graphic, as it extends down to the grille and doesn't have any writing in it. I'm somewhat with whtrapta on the tailgate...maybe even just moving it in an inch or two might work...then again, having the roof black might make that issue go away as well.

I'm not diggin' it. The hood is OK but the gate looks like you backed into something and your cheap-ass insurance company only worked hard enough to find a black one.

I am afraid of one thing... your truck will gain an unfortunate nickname... "The Mulato". Either that or "Jacko".:jester:
