Saw the 03 raptor le, loved it but was afraid of what the black would look like after some sand. Anyone had any problems? I decided to go with blue.

 

On the black plastic any scratches are very noticable. It gets dull very quickly. At least mine did. Anyone else feel the same way?

The flame were intoxicating!!! Still love the black, but have found a budlight graphics package from one industries that look tight with the blue. Technically I think that budlight could be a sponsor, it seems to help me make all of my stupid decisions.

 

yep i have a blue rap, it hides scratches quite well.
have a black blaster, idiot salesman dulled a fender before i could get it out of the showrooom!
it really stands out... my solution? stickers! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

we had a blue, but now have a black and red raptor. the blue hid the scratches better, but the black has held up pretty well. you can take some pledge to the plastic and really shine it up and protect it too. the black just looks so much cooler in the open dunes, jmho.

 

I totally agree!! BUt when you dump $6300 you want it to look good until you make the first payment so I pussed out. The black with black frame it tight!!!

 

The black scratches so easly that on the way home from the dealer it rained, so when I got home and put the LE in the garage I got a towel and dried it off, just using the towel left a mark in the direction I past the towel. The black is so shinny that anything that touched it will scratch the gloss and will show up, but I wouldn't not trade it for any other color.

 

Mine is black and white and road all over. Cleans up nice. Wife wants a blue one. I like them both.

 

blue you will see all the stress marks,and black looks bad after awhile, but if you throw some turtlewax2000 on it it looks brand new....

 

So the turtle has the secret...........I'll be at the store this afternoon to get some.
