hates the 2011 side graphics?!?! ...oh boy...

The style I don't mind, it's the fact it's a giant sticker that's clear with the printed on digital mud. Up close that clear line going between the digital mud splats just looks cheap to me. The 12+ graphic is the same way with the clear edge, but it's only like 1/8" past the black, and not between spots of black scattered apart like digital mud graphics.

It seems I have a few that are interested. Please shoot me a PM with the following info:

- name
- address
- phone #
- please review the 3M link I posted and pick out a color and send me the code. Please DO NOT tell me I want gloss. That means nothing to me so give me a color code.
- tell me what you want. For example, I want the hood graphic only and just like the 2012 OEM graphic. Please be specific in what you want so I can communicate this to Chris.

I will not order anything until I confirm with you and Chris and then tell you the cost. I will only have Chris make the graphic once you give me the OK to do so.

Thank you

If we're limited to just one color/finish, I'm not sure if i want Matte black or Satin black (On my Tuxedo Black Metallic). What's closest to the OEM?

I would be in for hood and bedside satin black, or carbon fiber black depending on price

I have no clue what Ford uses on their graphics.

If you like to wax your car then get satin/gloss. I don't think a matte vinyl would take waxing too well.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

ok so i've been thinking of going something different than stock but afraid to shell out the cash only to have it look horrible.. It's hard to vision something without seeing an example but maybe yall can help..

What would everyone think of going with (both hood and side) the dark grey matte color on a black tux raptor? I'm wondering if it would set it off with the bumpers, flares, and grill being a dark grey color. Hmmm

I agree that it's hard to imagine what would look good and not look good unless an example already exist out there. My advice is to pick out a 3m color that you are considering and go to ebay and order a sample. It's cheap, like $1.99 shipped. Once you have it, peel it and stick it on your truck and then you will get a much better idea of what it may look like.

OEM graphics are super expensive and only come in black. You have an opportunity here to apply graphics cheaply and also do it with color options.
