Thumbs up Tailgate lettering

Put the stainless steel lettering on the tailgate of our new truck. Got them from CJ Pony parts. Sure helped the looks of the tailgate IMO.

What was that the younger kids used to say on the car forums "Without pics, it didn't happen!!!" I just bought a '23 Lariat - traded in my '19 F-450 for it. I just used Tufskinz Real Carbon Fibre letters on mine... I had used them on my last 2 Super Dutys as well, frankly didn't know about the stainless stell - those sound awesome! Must look sweet against the Black!
Previous owner had the Ford logos vinyl wrapped black... it looked slick on the grille, but I'm a " title="Previous owner had the Ford logos vinyl wrapped black... it looked slick on the grille, but I'm a "Blled Blue" Ford guy, so I peeled it off both of them>" />

You still can't really tell it's carbon Fibre until you get really close, but they are heavy duty, covered with clear and look great.

I thought about adding the lettering as it does look nice. But I don’t need to advertise for ford.

LOL! Sorry that confuses me but I do confuse easily! So you are a member of FORD Truck Enthusiasts but you don't want people to know you are enthusiastic about Fords because that might help Ford?

Okaaaaaay then!
(just teasing please don't get mad)
