GEN 2 flare/Bedside graphics removal

Definitely easy money makers for Ford and dealers because I think they cram these on every Dealer stock 802a truck. an 802A without the stickers on a dealer lot is exceedingly rare. in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one sitting on a lot without graphics.

I couldn’t find one in late ’16 when the market was stupider.

I’m sure at some point I’ll probably be thinking of doing the same thing. good to know this is a user serviceable mod.

So true, I searched high and low for a 802a without sunroof and graphics.

FWIW, I bought my '19 off a dealer lot in late December '18 and it has the 802A without the graphics package!

Lots here in Houston without graphics on the lots.

Mine peels off without any help

Mine left ghost image behind in the paint/clearcoat ( from uv?? Or ??) oh well

So I’m not really a fan on them, have any of you removed them?

For what it is worth, I think the graphics look the best on your color of truck. They seem to blend nicely, but also give the eye something to look at. On other colors like white, they tend to stand out more and you either love them or hate them.

I happened to find an 802a that didn’t have them. I specifically was trying to find one without them and I guess I just got lucky...definitely not a fan of the graphics or the price

Funny you mention that. There was 8 raptors on the dealer lot when I got mine. Four were 802A, all had graphics.

The dealer I bought from is a volume dealer and had two 802As without graphics. Both were at a storage lot (not at the dealer lot). Since I searched based on options and inventory I was able to find an 802A without graphics but I definitely think you're right - People buying the loaded raptors would easily eat the 1k in stickers without batting an eye.

I only went to about 3 or 4 dealerships. For the most part, the trucks without did not have 802A. It was challenging to find one that didn't have sunroof and carbon fiber as well. Granted, we're only talking about 20 trucks.

man I am so torn. i hate the idea of "stickers" on my truck.....but when i see those without them, they look like something is missing.

I want to pull off my hood decals more then i want to get rid of the bed decals.
