Not stickers. From Etsy and shipped from Lithuania, were adhesive backed and slightly domed metal with the emblem printed on the face, they look gel coated. Unfortunately the Etsy seller closed their shop. I did find these...
The crackling is not really an issue except occasionally when the sound reflects off a nearby wall. You can't hear it when the windows are up either. Oh and I chose ABS over stainless steel because of the additional weight and the effect on fuel consumption. I've already added a full size spare...
This is the type of (factory fitted) weight I have behind the beauty rings. They don't seem to affect the retention of the rings. These rings are ABS and they do flex a little, which results in a cracking sound you can occasionally hear. Particularly when in a parkade where the sound reflects...

Just a note to say that I read the entire message thread before installing the right and left fender insulators, and the foam blocks. The blocks do appear to block off the top of the void above the fender insulators, and they fit snugly at the top too as can be seen with this view into the...
Special order from http://www.tufskinz.com/ -- I was concerned that in a dark and rainy night driving situation, that following drivers might not notice my truck or judge the distance from my truck when generative braking was active (and the brake lights don't come on). So I ordered the highly...
