Hey guys and gals!

My hot pepper red hybrid is finally built and shipped as of Friday night! I'm expecting to go pick it up in a few weeks, and I can't wait!

In the mean time, I'm trying to decide on tailgate letters. I am 1000% getting them, but I'm looking for pictures of various letters and styles to decide exactly which ones I want. So if you've got an HPR Mav, can you drop a picture of your tailgate letters for comparison?

Be different! use hot pepper letters

I really do not understand everyone’s obsession with filling in the letters

White looks good on A51. I think it would pop on Pepper Red. To Volks question, because it looks boring when it matches the paint color.

OP, make sure you clean the tailgate and then use a mixture of soapy water on it as you apply the letters. Allows you to adjust them easily. Then pat dry with a towel being careful to not move them. Really easy application.

Go poke around on the hot pepper red club thread, you'll see plenty. My truck got scheduled, won't see it for several months, but I already have black letters for it. I think the black on the back picks up the dark trim, the bumper, looks like it belongs, IMHO, of course.

I have gloss black lettering with a silver outline. To me, the black lettering without any outline on HPR looks bland. The silver makes the color pop. But, that's just me. I can post a picture of it if you'd like

Well, for one thing, it keeps idiots from rear-ending you trying to get close enough to read what kind of a truck it is...

Yes, take a digital stroll over to the Pepper Red guys and see what there is.
My 2 cents = Pepper Red letters with Black outline...

Go with the flat Black (Matte not glossy) they look great, and match all the other black things on your truck.
