I tend to agree with that. I think the screws look better in black. I think the black tends to make the screws look shorter. It helps to hide the longer look of the 4 door.

A red scab would look good, but the County cops would surely be gunning for me on the back roads. It would be as bad as a red or yellow Corvette on the highway.

If I had to do it over again, RED SCab with the new graphics and the FX4 red trimed seats transplanted into her. I bought BLUE because I like BLUE and didn't really see a RED up close until recently. That RED is fucking BADASS with the graphics.

P.S., as a po po, I can tell you first hand, I don't look for any color of vehicle, but I know who the local knuckleheads are. DO NOT get on that list in your area.

+1 to that. I swore of Black vehicles a long time ago even though I love how they look when they are clean.

The Raptor loves to be dirty....

Agree with all comments here. Silver is MUCH more friendly in the maintenance department. It takes a lot of work to keep my black SCrew looking clean(i say clean and not good cuz it always looks good. It's freakin Raptor). Plus like was mentioned the rock chips show really easy on the black cuz the base coat is silver so would hardly be able to see on the silver. Plus silver is just pretty badass.

My last truck was black...never again. Too much of a pain to maintain.

Here's my silver cant even tell hasn't been washed in like 3 weeks. At a distance its hard to tell the difference from a black raptor and a blacked out fx4..But a Silver is hard to confuse with anything else...
