Considering Removing or Updating my FX2 Decal's

As title states, I am considering removing the FX2 decals on the bedside. Its not that I dislike these particular stickers, but they are fairly large & the white trimmed color doesn't go with the trucks red/black theme IMO.

I figure, worse case scenario, "IF" I end up regretting the removal of them, I have a buddy who owns a Graphics business & he said he'd make some for me that better match the color theme.

Thoughts/Opinion

Not sure why I didn't think of this before....
I played around with PAINT & now have an idea of how she'd look naked

Looks great without it! I've been meaning to pull the STX decal off my truck. I'm not big on stickers.... or chrome.

Thanks Robb, I am sure I am going to pull them but I work Fri, Sat, Sun so I am going to debate it all weekend & more than likely remove them on Monday. FWIW, I am a chrome removal advocate...lol

Definitely lose the stickers

my opinion is that it is a cleaner look.
That was the first change in my '14 ... take off the 4X4-OffRoad sticker.
Not great pics but you can see how it "darkened" it up a bit along with fender trim andgetting rid of the chrome running boards.
for reference, the color is "ruby red metallic'

I did it, they are gone & it definitely looks different !!
I like it, but it also looks weird, there's so much space now...lol
I've only ever seen her with her stickers, so I think it'll take some getting use to & if not, I'll have some better ones made.

Well, it essentially looks as it does in my photo shopped pic (lol) but I'll get one Yesterday, I removed those stickers & installed a 5.0 plenum cover, along with coil covers. That plenum cover was a b***h

I will be honest & say that those are not even close to be direct bolt-on, except for the heater hose relocation. Yes, the heater hose had to be rerouted, but that cover had to be trimmed a lot & like a billion test fits. I'll post some pic's of that on my Build-Thread soon.

Look forward to the pics. I got a set of take off coil/plenum covers a while back. Mounted up the coil covers (not bad) then decided the plenum cover would look just fine hanging in the garage rather then playing around moving stuff or trimming the plenum.

Hat tip to actually getting it to fit.
