Let me start by reminding everyone here that I'm a die hard FORD fan and would never drive any other type of car so don't think I'm hating on the Blue Oval, no way! It's not the color silver in general that is the issue here, per se'...It's the particularly wimpy, drab, boring. ******* 'Ingot silver' that Ford erroneously chose to use on the 2011 Raptor!! Had they used their noggins and employed a TRUE bright aluminum sliver, like Acura or Honda, THAT would be Bad-Leroy!!!! C'mon Ford, you don't even offer the Raptor in a bright red? That's a travesty!!! Anyway, just had to vent that...Whew.....I feel better........

OK
Not everyone wants a color that says "Hey, look at me look at me". Silver is classy, IMO. Blue flame and molten orange are colors that Generation Y'ers or Mellennials would drive.

...And Gen X'ers with low self-esteem.:flipthebird:

Sorry but Flame Blue is the nicest color blue on any car I've seen ever--its loud but its proud without being too South of the Border. Almost a House of Kolor candy blue. Their Orange as well beats the hell out of Chevy's rendition on the Camaro's

My knees quiver every time I see my Flame Blue FX4 that I wish I could tranform into being a Raptor

Silver looks better than the white at least

I spotted a silver screw today with graphics, it looked killer. I would have ordered mine in silver if black was not just the most bad ass color available.

Everyone knows Molten Orange Is the best and first color of the Raptor everything else comes in second:ROFLJest::ROFLJest::ROFLJest:

I'm not sure I can agree with any of that. In fact, word has it, Molten Orange will be the first color to be discontinued. In 2012 Ford will be adding a red color option and saying bye bye to orange. :Bye::Bye:
