Hood / Tailgate letters

Ordered and received some hood and tailgate letters from Ford Accessories.com. They look to be CNC cut with a straight edge, not beveled
like it appears the Tuffskinz or Putco letters have when viewing a closeup on their respective websites. Not pleased with them and may return them.
Does anybody have any experience with either the Putco or Tuffskinz letters.? I know they are pricy, but willing to pay for quality and good looks.
Have a Carbonized gray 2024 and thinking maybe matte black letters now. The Ford letters were Black Platinum and shiny.

I have had my Tufskin letters on for at least 6 years. They still look as good as new.

I've used Tuffskinz, but only on the dash panel letters. Absolutely love them & they turned out much better than I expected.

@53ford I think I order my letters from Amazon but Ford Accessory letters. Matte black and seemed fine.

I have the flag TiffSkinz front and back. But pay attention - it's easy to put the stars upside down. Love mine and get many compliments.

I like the look of the black on gray, instead of the chrome ones that I used on my gray. Besides, I ended up getting dirt under the ones I installed on the tailgate, and the chrome really shows it!

So, ordering the black ones... appreciate the photo!

I've been wanting to do this to my rig for awhile, but never really researched it until this thread. Man those tuffskinz are pricey!

I did the Amazon ones a few months ago, they had a special during Christmas, got them for $32 for front and back. So far so good.

@53ford These are flat black on carbonized gray like you said you wanted. I got these from an eBay store. I can’t recall the store info. I like them so far.

Black Truck Pics

Let’s see the Black Trucks with tailgate letters.
I purchased a gloss black set in anticipation of my Rapid Red truck delivery. Well that didn’t work out as planned
Now I need inspiration for the tailgate on my Black Lariat with BAP.
Post those pics!

Quad Racer, That is the look I am favoring. You stated getting them from Ebay. Are those a stiff, multi layer, thicker letter like Tuffskinz or Putco,
or a thick precut vinyl decal like letter. Thanks, Don

they are pretty thin vinyl stickers. Not the thicker ones that some here have.

I bought the Putco directly from Putco, and from what you’re describing, and the box they came in, I think they’re the same ones you get from the dealer. Haven’t installed them yet, though.

I used TufSkinz, black with the red outline. I had this same set on a black Super Duty also and it looked great!
