That's going to be the tricky part. Thinking just heat gun and putty knife or sometj


The end result... Heat gun and thin plastic scraper and a lot of WD40 did the job, took a lot longer then I was planning. Overall I like it. I wish the Black and White Flag ones I had stuck out as much as these. They were much thinner and felt cheaper in my opinion.

Got the letters attached.
The Tailgate letters were easier to put on than I thought they would be...the N took a little more time to get straight. Very impressed with these letters:
1. Good quality and appearance, raised and beveled, authentic OEM look.
2. Firm and didn't flop around when attaching.
3. The adhesive can be applied to stick on lightly and then the letters can be re-adjusted before pressing them down permanently.
4. The Matte black matched the bumper perfectly.

I cleaned the letter recesses twice with a 50% Isopropyl alcohol and distilled water mix to strip away wax, rinsed and dried with a microfiber towel. Attached all the letters temporarily then went back and adjusted each one to get them straight. These letters will be perfect if they don't separate from the surface.

I'm with you tho! I was really impressed with the quality for the price! The b&w American flag was no where near the quality as the black ones. They were much cheaper. I'm very happy with these.

The same with me. The letters look they were designed by Ford for the Ranger and installed at their factory!
