Would these look better than the OEM FX4 decals?

I'm thinking about changing my OEM FX4 stickers because I don't really care for the red in them. Personally, I think it stands out too much against the white truck.

Here is what I'm looking at getting: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-...#ht_1361wt_875

As for color..... I would go with dark gray to match the bottom accent color.


And a couple pics of my truck:

With your truck I would not change to that style... Your decals look outstanding with the Oxford White body... Keep it the way it is...

I changed mine for the same reason. Didn't care for the red and wanted the new one to match my fender flares. So I created my own in carbon fiber and used a print shop here in town. I think yours would look better too. Just my opinion. I did a quick PS for you to see it.

I agree with the change... you could go like I did just have paint showing through with an outline..




Or just have white show through, but have the 4 match your bottom color..

Got these on mine. No cash spent. Take a razor blade(yes I know it sounds crazy) and carefully cut the red out of the sticker and bang!! PTM FX4 emblems. Just ever so gently cut the sticker

try it out don't be scared.

Thanks for the opinions. If I do it I'm pretty sure I'll go with this:

If you have a vinyl print shop in your town and want to have this done locally I can send you a high res pdf or eps for the print shop to use. That way you won't have any art charges. I have the actual OEM logo that I can make into any color or design (carbon fiber, camo, etc) you want. It's pretty inexpensive to have these done at local print shops. I think I paid $15 or so for mine.

I'd vote leave it be. Always thought they were sharp.

I vote to leave as is. Love the look of the FX4 decals on a white truck. The all grey looks kinda blah IMO. But I do like the idea of cutting the red out of the factory logo.
