Where did you get dash lettering? Looks great, are they difficult to apply?

Jeff
Dash and tailgate both came from TVD. The dash was more difficult than the tailgate. Definitely take the tailgate off, that makes that one super easy. The dash is more difficult because they’re smaller. Use the minimum amount of water you can get away with, otherwise you can’t control it and they slide all over the place.

Thanks for the info.

I drive cars for my dealer from auctions and dealer trades and was up at a dealer in WI today and saw this magnetic model - these, according to the dealer, are Ford accessory letters - most probably the Black Platinum Stainless Steel ones. They looked unbelievable and apparently are only $50. The thing to note is how thick they are, I was surprised that I was able to capture that, maybe near 1/16". I will definitely be ordering these.

Meh..........the lip around the letters reaks of "Add on" attachment

I much prefer the flat vinyl inserts. They look factory "painted" rather than glued.

When people buy vinyl for graphics, etc they look painted rather than attached, and they last a long long time and are inexpensive to re apply

I put the black platinum on my HPR, really pops and they are $52 with tax at my dealer. I think it makes the tailgate pop as do the vinyl letters. Let's people personalize their ride and make it their own.

Me just the opposite....thinking these will be looking good long after the vinyl has peeled off or corners curled. Makes the world go round.
