I am about to order my 2013 Screw FX4, and I want the 20" black wheels. The only way to get those is to get the FX4 appearance package, which gives some tricks here and there, but more importantly, means that there is a large decal stripe from the tailgate to the mirrors, and then straight down to the bottom of the door. I personally hate it.

Question: do you think this decal can be easily removed by a shop? One shop said the factory may put the decal on fairly soon after painting it, so removing it could remove paint.

The other option is to order the truck with 17" cheaper wheels, and then have to take off and buy 20" black wheels and new tires. But I'd rather just drive it the way it comes from the factory, plus for about that same price I get the red stitching accents on the leather and some other black accents. Thanks.

I searched for the wheels (Black 20" OEM) for a while before finding 2 sets. One was $2500 firm with used tires and the other I found in Oklahoma for $1800 with new tires. They are hard to find and most people selling them know this. Might be easier and cheaper to remove the stripe. 2 dealers here offered to remove it if I ordered one.

Yeah I've heard they come off pretty easy but then again I could be wrong lol.

Idk what the hell Ford was thinking with those ugly *** hockey sticks.

The dealer should be able to revove it,if not check with a custom paint shop.I will wait for my paint to fade then have it removed and have a custom stripe ha ha

...First thing I did was peel off the giant "Hockey Sticks", Hood Graphic and FX4 bed side stickers on my 2013 Appearance Package truck

It was a warm evening when I did it....didn't even need the hair dryer to warm them up....

Take a look at the "before" and "after" pics and decide which looks better.

Oh...uh....and my wife would not ride in the truck until I took them off....

"...Yes, Dear...."

I have a 2013 FX4 SCREW with 20" wheels...I would call them "dark grey".....Didn't get the appearance package. Bought the truck off the lot.

ship it

I made sales rep write me a due bill including removing appearance pkg decal, fx4 decal and ecoboost badge off prior to signing any paper work. I made them swap out w/ license plate holder delete at the same time as well(mine is EB). My truck is black and it's not all that noticeable but I just hate any stickers or decal on my car/truck. Body shop guy told me it came off real easy. Now line-x was whole another story... So far I'm having issues w/ dealer not coming through like they promised.. For the decal, it looks 10X better w/o it.

I peeled mine off after about a month of owning the truck gave it some time to grow on me and never did. So I removed it and it was so easy even a month later. Its just a sticker

I've thought about "altering" the layout of the decal but haven't came up with a design that I like.

I have the black on black so I think it doesn't look that bad.
