Reducing orange on dash.

[Richard Conley]

Picky I know…..Really don’t like the orange, but not in favor of wraping. Replaced the chromish vent bezels on my Lariat because they reflected too much sun (old eyes hate the sun) with black ones from XLT. Been researching while my Raptor languishes in the post built but not shipped status. Top picture is 2024 XL, bottom is Raptor. I am pretty sure that just the inner part of the bezel is orange as you can see that it (seems like) it does not cover the entire bezel noting that picture of the XL shows what I think is the complete bezel after looking a even uglier completely orange bezels and the carbon fiber wrap kits offered. While I can find 2024 part numbers on Ford site I can’t see how to differentiate the model and will take to my dealers parts guy. If like 2019 they just snap in.

You can buy bezel covers off of ebay rather than replace the whole bezel.

I’ll probably get flamed for this but I’m not a fan of the orange accent touches in the interiors of the Raptors. Maybe it’s just because it’s orange. Kind of a strange color for Ford to pick as there accent color. Maybe it’s some kind of significance for Raptors that I’m unaware of.

I couldn't agree more. I felt it was a very strange choice...and one of the only things I didn't find appealing.

I know, don't want a cover or a wrap...been researching it for a couple months so I think I've seen about everything.

Maybe it would look better if black was the accent...

The Orange is the trademark for all Raptor units across all lines. Since day one. A lot of people don't like the combination more so with the external cuddlers, but it is what it is. That's what makes it a Raptor

Personally, I think most people would agree with you. The orange accent color is the ONLY thing that I don’t like about my RR, but given the accent patch and stitching on the seats, it just doesn’t seem like trying to change out the vent bezels would make much of a difference.

My other car is a forest sport and it has similar Orange accented trim you can see below. ill be honest, you just kind of forget about it after awhile.

I'm getting used to the red/orange in my RRaptor

Getting used to it for sure, but that doesn’t mean I wanna keep it…def feels a little gimmicky for my usual taste…but I get they wanted to make it feel special, just a slight bit too much and flirting with tacky for me.

The Braptor got a much more refined and mature feeling interior…accents but a little less loud…but then again, a very different price point, so I’ll happily cover up my trim accents for a few hundred bucks down the road!

Imagine Ford may offer this as an option at some point down the road (changing accent colors), but who knows. It’s def much better in person than pics, that’s for sure!

Personally I like the stand out look of both the exterior and interior of the 24RR. I think the orange interior accents are cool! Beats white!!!
What I don’t like is sagging leather seats after only 1000 miles but that’s a different issue.

The most obviously annoying to me is the AC bezel. On my '19 Lariat they were essentially chrome or chrome like and reflected sun that really bothered me, got some XL flat black replacements that snapped right in. Can't tell but the Raptor seems to have a two piece bezel or looks like it because the outer part is what is orange. Wraps out there, but didn't want that, and didn't check replacing with XL parts, but it does look like they are the same except color.

Yep, in my opinion, the ford designers have a really bad warped mindset on orange accents, sickening to me, raptors, tremors, even the XLT trim on maverick. Puke. But to each their own

I’m sure in the next year there will be plenty of easy solutions - this is a quick and easy fix, we just need the aftermarket to rev up. At days end, it’s such an incredible and compelling package for the money that I’m not getting hung up on little things like this!
