Black is scratchier.

If you like washing and polishing, black looks killer.

If not so much, silver is maintenance friendly.

I plan on driving it on gravel roads and offroading. If I get the silver, I was just going to get the hood graphic. No NAV and no moonroof.

I have a black one and I would love a silver one. Put the matte black hood hood on it and rally the crap out of it and it will still look pretty good. The black is very thin and chips easy IMO. It also really shows how good Ford is at doing the orange peel paint job.

most people get black.... be different!



that said, i had one, and clean and in the sun it looked killer! but that look didnt last real long.... i washed mine and stupid me didnt wash and dry my detailers rags first, so all it did was push water around and leave blue fuzzies all over it, so i tried the wind method of drying it by driving around theblock a few times fast.... it almost looked worse.... every water spot showed like a pizza sauce on a white shirt.....


now my Molten Orange, i washed it and didnt bother drying it since im getting work done soon and a better wash.... still looks great!


if you really like the black and are OCD with cleaning your truck, that Tuxedo Black will look killer! if not, then the Silver will probably look the best. and i think the graphics look great on the silver.

I have a black scab, I'd go silver if I could do it over again.

Thanks for all your comments!

I think I will go with silver and the hood graphic. I won't get the bed graphics because I don't want it to say RAPTOR all down the side of the truck. I kind of preferred the old bed graphic.

I have seen black scabs on the road, but I haven't seen any silver scabs in town yet.

Im not a fan of silver. But it looks really good in the scab. Sorry Screws but it looks not so hot in the 4 door
