What’s the recommendation for the magnetic colored 3D letters, now that Eyecatchers no longer sells them? I’d rather have something that matches my magnetic trim, than the black option most other vendors sell.

When I was looking I couldn't find any so I went with these ABS black ones. He also sells the matte black if you click on his store link. I had originally put on the magnetic vinyl ones but I didn't like them and changed them out for the ABS ones.

Changing to black
I kinda liked the red, but thought black would look better (it does). and wanted to go with the molded letters
I was considering black with red trim, but they are crazy thick.
Went with THESE, like others have.

the more things change...
Or something so I started with red letters,

changed to black in above post.

And now I just bought some black with red outline off Etsy. I felt like I needed a splash of color in all the black and white. Painted the front tow hooks red and thought some red in back also...

But I cant bring myself to rip off the molded black ones just yet.
The one thing I don't like about the molded letters is the foam tape is pretty evident.

Well if I make the change I will post pictures!

If anyone has these Etsy letters on a white truck please post!

Thanks for posting these photos and the link to seller. I've been looking at the various solutions and wanted matte black for both tailgate and grill. This seller had exactly what I wanted on his E-bay store.

Sure thing, glad it worked out for you. I've had them on for almost 2 years now and they've held up great.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their ideas.

I went with these - https://www.amazon.com/Tailgate-Ins.../B08PSDLVP3/ref=psdc_3095127011_t3_B093BDKXVS

Very happy with the install...letters seem made from decent plastic...adhesive seemed good...easy to install straight and centered...matte black looks perfect on carbonized gray. I cleaned the tailgate with soap and water, rinsed, dried, and used the supplied alcohol wipe.

Time will tell.

Wow - real CF, nice!
But $$$$!! I think I could justify the door sill protectors. Please post back after a while, I would love to see how the gloss surface holds up.
