[QUOTE="Scott Phillips, post: 1376873, member: 33338"] It frustrates me that Ford artificially inflates the price of the truck with stickers. Spending $2k on stickers that provide no benefit at all is kinda silly. I understand that people say "I would rather spend that money on something physical and useful." The one I bought (white 802a) was exactly what I wanted except mine came with the hood stripes. I was leaning toward their removal and my wife didn't like them at all so that made the decision easy. I had the dealer remove them and got the price that I wanted (invoice) although I probably could have gotten $1k more off if it hadn't come with the stickers. In the end Ford made an extra $1k, and the dealership sold the truck for $1k more than what I really wanted to pay. I personally like the clean looks of the Raptor and how it doesn't have F150 or FX4 on the side of the truck. I like the tailgate applique and I feel like it is useful if the tailgate comes down on a hitch or something. I think the side "Raptor" makes the already short bed of the truck look silly short. If my truck was a darker color and the graphics blended in more and didn't stick out so much I might think otherwise. I have heard "how are people supposed to know it's a Raptor without the stickers" and that the stickers make it stand out. My mindset is that if you need stickers to know that it's a Raptor, then you don't really know what a Raptor is and I don't care to "advertise" it. In other words, those in the know, know. I don't really care about "standing out" either. [/QUOTE]
