Took your advise from another post and ordered these. Installed them today and like them a lot better than the TVD vinyl letters I originally had. Very fast shipping,ordered on Tuesday morning and received them this morning...Thanks!!

Good to hear, they look great! I'm happy with mine, I like that they are thicker than vinyl but you don't really see the two sided tape like you do on the metal Ford ones.

I’ve never seen the reflective ones before, I like them! That first picture with the wet tailgate looks pretty cool.
Tripod and a really really slow shutter speed. Haha wasnt what I was going for but I had to do it that way in order to get the non-reflective just before getting the reflective shot just in case some troll be like "that's not the same sticker blah blah blah":whew:

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
To each his own. I love the look of the raised letters. I used the black TVD letters and I’m now going to replace them with the Ford product.

You should consider these DKM ones too if you haven’t bought the Ford ones, they look really good!

Did you peel off the second (clear) layer of film off after you put the letters on? It almost looks like it’s still on there in the close up pic.

Good catch! I was doing this partially in the sun so I could center them better and must of missed that one.

sorry took a while. The weather been bipolar as you can see she still wet . This is black reflective vinyl. I was gonna get a shot of the grille inserts but its basic red reflecting red. Would be so clean without a lisence plate

Been looking all over for reflective black decal......Where did you get them? Thanks

Never noticed any tape after mine were installed, but I'm old and have bad eyes :) Regardless agree that thick looks better.

It wouldn’t really show on a grey truck like yours as it’s a similar colour to the tape. I saw them installed on a white truck like mine and it was quite noticeable!
