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.

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.

the more things change...
Or something so I started with red letters,
1632430958901.webp

changed to black in above post.
1632431026882.webp

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!
And for the FINAL time I have swapped out my letters. The black ones where the raised molded plastic letters held on with VHB tape. Over time they didn't look good and one was pulling up. The black with red outline are vinyl and look MUCH better. Lets hope they last.

I also discovered my new favorite tool, Decal Remover Eraser Wheel. Wish I had bought this when I removed my threshold protector! Tore my fingers up removing that tape!
A little goof off to finish it off and all 6 letters cleaned up in 15min.

Are the new outlined the raised letters or just stickers?
