I have a lightning blue XL and the grill on the front also has the ranger letters embossed. I wonder if red like this would work well there too?

I had intended to get black letters like I did for the tailgate, but forgot to change the color. I thought I'd try it and see what it looked like - I kind of like it:

I’m thinking of getting the cheap vinyl letters for that and the passenger airbag cover too

That’s going to look sweet on my Magnetic grille

I love that contrast so much. Where'd you get the graphics you used?
bought them at my local Ford Dealer in the parts department. They are aftermarket and not an OEM part though, so I’m sure not all dealers carry them.

Thanks! If you have any other information you can find about it, I'd appreciate it. I might check with some local vinyl guys and see about doing something like that as well.

I went ahead and followed through on the front and back. I like it but it comes off much more orange than red. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem but I live in Alabama and am not an Auburn fan.

I went ahead and put some red stickers on the side vent too. I got the A off a little bit but I think it turned out reasonably well. This is the red hue that I was hoping for the back.

Those look like decals. Mine were metal letters painted red. I think the paint is much more bold than vinyl.

Have a few beers and that ever so slightly askew A will look just fine...works for me!

They were decals. I got some newer and much thicker decals that work better. I think I'm happy with these.
