So I'm not normally a decal kind of guy, but I wanted a red Raptor, and the one I finally found for close to MSRP had the decal package. I thought that I would remove it, but it's grown on me. It definitely makes the truck stand out, so if you like attention (which is fine), go for the decal...
Can you speak more to the process.
What kind of sandpaper did you use?
How long did you wait between coats?
How long was the entire process start to finish?
Any other tips?
Thanks,
I won't pay a dime over $200 for the install. Luckily I have a dozen Ford dealers around me so it isn't difficult to find someone to meet your price.
Assuming it ever gets approved in California of course. :crying:
Thanks for the photos. I think it actually looks better so I'm definitely removing the side-step. I already have full frontal PPF, but I'm probably going to get some PPF installed on the lower section along the doors as well. Not sure how bad that would look. I have the OEM Ford mud flaps, but...
Not a fan of the side-steps for multiple reasons;
1. I'm 6'3 so the step is at an awkward height to use. I step over it most of the time.
2. It's a faded black color and doesn't match other black on the vehicle
3. It's attached to the body not the frame, so it doesn't offer great protection...
Not usually a fan of the window vent look. These one looks really streamlined though.
Maybe if I smoked or it rained more where I live they would be of more use.
My personal take is that if you choose to install a performance upgrade like this, where the manufacturer is clearly defining the warranty, you should be financially prepared to eat the cost of any powertrain issues that occur after 3y/36k. There's no doubt in my mind that Ford will not honor...
Thanks for the info.
Is there a way for me to get this installed on a California registered vehicle without breaking the law or voiding the warranty? Can I have it installed in another State?
Thanks,
