I also ordered the black chrome letters, saw them on a black truck on here looked cool
OEM ford letters, paid 41.00 shipped. Should be here this week.
Do you happen to have a link to that post for the black truck with the black and chrome letters? I would love to see how they look on a black truck. Thanks in advance!

I just added mine. Here in the south, we have wonderful weather with a nice breeze. Advice, when applying the letters, be careful of the breeze as the letters, especially the E wants to get tangled up. Also, when applying the masking tape, use a small piece on just the edge of the letter as it helps when pulling the tape off. If you cover too much of the letter, it’s delicate to remove it without pulling off the letter. Also, I started out with blue painters tape but it pulls off of the letters a bit too easy to my liking so I switched to regular masking tape.

I used the “liquid” procedure as instructed. I cannot imagine how to do it without liquid. The front letters were easy.

Lastly, I started applying letters to my dash and buggered up the first and I’m not thrilled with the second. I’m going to wait till tomorrow when I have more light. Any advice from those who’ve done their dash would be appreciated.

What color option did you go with for the tailgate?

Has anyone found the letters in reflective ghost graphics? I don't want to have colered letters but I think reflective would be cool.

I won't accept a vehicle until THEY remove their stickers. First park in the garage, then their rear license plate frame comes off.
I’m the same way. Unless the dealership pays me or knocks more off the price for their advertisement, they are off my truck.

Was thinking of ordering those!! Did you get them yet?? Whats your opinion??
I like them, glad I picked the color. they are metal from ford. I didn’t want anything to stick out like a sore thumb. Just right.

Here is my tailgate lettering, using Ford accessories - Black Platinum Stainless Steal letters.

No pics to share (yet) but I got these on my Magnetic painted Lariat. Where I live there are a lot of Range Rovers and I thought the reflective black mimicked their look. Would love to see Putco put out brushed Stainless. The Eye Catchers are nice for the sculpted 3D effect.

However I'm thinking of the charcoal lettering for the front chrome trim and silver for the dash.
