Raptor Swap- Part 0: Tailgate Applique'

[@leonellicea408]

Great review on how to install it.

[@GooseAutoWorks]

Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful. More to come!

Hey man, do you know if the F-150 or Raptor badges are removable on the OEM Raptor appliqué? I had someone rear end me the other day and luckily only scratched up one of the badges. A bit of an eyesore so if I can I’d like to be able to just replace that rather than buy a whole new appliqué. Thanks!

[@GooseAutoWorks]

Here you can find the “F150” and “Raptor” badges although the appliqué version of the “Raptor” badge says discontinued. It looks like just the appliqué-delete version is available. That said you can plug that part number into a search and you might find one floating around on eBay or something. It’s hard to think Ford just stopped altogether, and it states it’s included if you buy the whole appliqué, but without trying to order one, I can just go off what I see. www.tascaparts.com/v-2017-ford-f-150--raptor--3-5l-v6-gas/body--exterior-trim-tail-gate

How did you get the tailgate to go back up?

[@GooseAutoWorks]

Hahaha, I just reversed that part of the clip. I’m glad it was halfway convincing lol

What type of glue and adhesion promoter did you use?

[@GooseAutoWorks]

They both came with the kit. I couldn’t say much on the adhesive or even how necessary it really is, but the adhesion promoter would be similar to anything you’d find from 3M for double sided mounting tape.

Where can I buy this appliqué? Can you comment the link of the appliqué?

What color iis this?

[@GooseAutoWorks]

This one is black, but I will be painting it Ford’s Magnetic (J7).

Looks like to bought the cheap Chinese yang yang fake raptor Applique..You should have spent some money and bought a nice AirDesign Applique like I did, then I wouldn't have to hear you complain.

[@GooseAutoWorks]

Well thanks for watching, regardless. All in all I’m plenty happy with it. It’s been on over a year, just fine and I did end up removing the “Raptor” badging, and it looks just fine underneath.
