Raptor tailgate badge removed

[snm928]

I’m sure this is an old thread, but not sure I know how to find it. Had previously posted removal of vinyl decal pictures. Went totally stealth (exterior) yesterday by removing tailgate Raptor badge. Mistake?

I think having a compulsive disorder caused me to look for balanced symmetry off center Ford badge. Also liked the idea of “keep them guessing “ for those scratching their heads.

I don't think anyone is guessing - those who know, will know regardless of badging. Those who don't know, probably won't be giving it any thought...

I get not having the side stickers and graphics pack (they're not for everyone), but removing the Raptor badge for me is a step too far..?

Yeah. Just having fun. Probably just old and old school. Wouldn’t be worried about an enthusiast, but as an old guy have experienced a charmer keying a car because they saw a badge and thought (in their little mind) it might be pretentious. My keyed car was a ‘97 328i. The car was fourteen years old! I guess that’s the “okay to key a BMW”because “BMW are jerks…” Like Tesla drivers are aspiring Nazi’s. Just flying under the radar brother. All good.

Mine was either left off at the factory, stolen, or simply fell off. I only noticed it missing a couple weeks after getting the truck, and other than the occasional hmmmm, I haven't missed it.
