TufSkinz is supposed to be back online at the end of the month. Based on what I've researched and seen online, my advice is to wait. Everything else I've seen appears to be cheap. The TufSkinz products was high quality. I'm waiting.
Otherwise, eBay will get you some cheaper options.
Tufskinz are close to coming back out, after their legal woes with Ford. I've been looking at Recon, but can't seem to find any reviews on the product.

I just threw a set on my truck. So far I like the look. The black and red really pop. I haven't taken then through a wash to see how they hold up.
These are the RECON brand. They are ...... OK. From 3 foot away they look great. The thing that i was not impressed with is that the edges are unfinished and a lighter color than the face of the letters. Application is straight forward. The letters have double sided tape, so you clean the panel with an alcohol swab, and then peel and stick. All of my letters stuck first shot except for one of the E’s on the hood. I had to carefully peel the letter edge back and use a contact cement on a Q tip to get it to stick. They have held up fine, but i am mindful with the wash mitt and chamois when i wash my truck. Not sure how they would fair against an automatic car wash. One thing i will add about the RECON letters, is that the dash inserts are a 100% joke. I removed them 10 minutes after install. They looked absolutely horrible. Personally i think they would be worth it if they ditched the dash letters and knocked 20 bux off of the price. I have seen the tuffskinz in person, and personally i believe that they are a better looking, more refined product. I bought my letters a couple of months ago right after the tuffskinz were pulled off of the market.
Just wait on the Tufskinz. Mine have been on almost 2 years with zero problems. High pressure car washes and excessive heat along with colder temps and they still look like I put them on yesterday. As long as nothing has changed in the process of making the letters I wouldn't hesitate in buying them again.
I have the Tufskinz on my hood and tailgate, and those Recon letters above look horrible. Me? I'd wait for the product which has a more professional finish. I was looking at adding the King Ranch tailgate applique to my truck, but decided to wait because the Tufskinz inserts were offline. Looking forward to their return.
The one thing that i do like about the recon letters is that they are a satin black as opposed to gloss. I am neurotic and everything has to match on my vehicles. I have satin black wheels, tool box, and side steps, and they do match the theme to a T. Im not 100% sure but i believe the tuffskinz are only available in gloss. At least all of the ones i have seen have been gloss.
