Tailgate Letters

[djrobb]

Here are some color samples of the TVD decals against the silver Ranger. Charcoal metallic, silver grey and grey metallic. Generally speaking the Silver Grey is very close to the Ranger Ingot Silver. The Charcoal is close to Magnetic. Hard to tell that in the pics though.

In your last picture is the order Silver Grey, Grey Metallic, and Charcoal Metallic? The colors look different than in your first picture.

What color of letters did you choose for your Ranger?

Here is the sample sheet. That last picture is in the shade on purpose. They definitely look a bit different in the shade. Silver Grey is the lightest followed by Grey Metallic then the darkest is Charcoal Metallic. I haven’t chosen yet! I’m thinking of doing silver grey on my dash though to match the outside of the truck then either Matte Black or the Eyecatcher inserts on the tailgate. Gonna wait to see what they put out. My truck is Ingot Silver.

Thanks - that helps a lot. I have an Ingot Silver Lariat 4x2 Crew Cab, that with any luck will be delivered this week. It's been in transit since about the 15th. The dealer says he has no way to track it (I don't believe him), so I'll just wait and see what happens. I have the additional $750 cash offer to apply, but it's only good on deliveries before 04/01. So I have until the end of the week to apply that.

Thanks...the last picture really shows the differences.

My Ranger is coming in shadow black, wondering if the matte black lettering will look good on the glossy black/clearcoat. I like the black on black look and the more I see other Rangers the more I wish I had gone with the Sport package, but I like the body color bumper more than the two-tone look. I do wish I had the magnetic grille for the completely blacked-out look. I might have to Plastidip it, a lot cheaper than buying a new grille.

I put the matte black letters on mine. I like it a lot.

I also removed the factory chrome Ecoboost emblem. I bought the tougher looking black/red one to replace it....and move in a better location.

I added a chrome exhaust tip from Summit Racing. It fits perfect and looks stock.

Very Easy install, I soaked my tailgate with dawn and water, Put the letters on WET and slid them into as perfect as I could get, Left the soaking decals on overnight, The next morning the water was gone and the letters are all sticking VERY well. Now I could clean the tailgate and Zaino the letters, Fronts were easier,

I have not decided what to do with the tailgate yet (waiting to see what Eyecatchers comes up with) but I did install TVD black letter decals on the grille....It's subtle but I like it.....

Here is grill with Copper Metallic and dash with Grey Metallic from TVD. The Copper Metallic almost perfectly matches the Saber.

I’m kinda liking the stainless steel tailgate letters from the Ford accessory site.

I just walked out and took this picture of the grill. I really like the flat black lettering versus the bare chrome indented letters.

Great idea! Looks great!

I finally got my Ranger (04/06). I had already ordered the Charcoal Metallic, and put them on last week. I also did the grill, but don't have a picture of that.

Thanks so much for that front picture! I've been agonizing over what to do with the grille... I figured there was no way that the letters would be close enough to look good, and wasn't thrilled with the appearance of the black on magnetic. But that looks great! I no longer fear ordering them for mine.
