Eruption Green Tailgate Lettering Color Choices

[colinl]

if a truck has the chrome finish 'AWD' badge, raised chrome finish letters make sense on any color maverick. it also would work particularly well with the significant chrome-ish front end treatment the '25 Lariat has.

if a truck has BAP I would definitely go with matte black letters. it won't have as much contrast against the eruption green tailgate, but I think it would look good.

I purchased white.

That will be good for an Michigan State theme

I didn't order Eruption Green, but if I did, I would chose bronze lettering and bronze aftermarket wheels. I think that would look amazing on EG.

I don't think I've seen bronze lettering, but if you had a nice shiny polished bonze, that would look very sharp indeed!

I might be biased as I own bronze wheels already, but YES that's a good look.

relatively popular choice on broncos... and some cool mustangs too. pics here

I'm transferring the bronze wheels from my HPR to my EG. I didn't think about bronze lettering. I'm not 100% against lettering now lol.

I think a gray or charcoal would look pretty good. Subtle, but maybe a little more contrast than black.

Thanks for adding the link. Something like this Mustang is exactly what I was envisioning with the color combo.

I'm actually a U of M fan. But State is #2. And any team playing against Ohio State is #3. Sorry all you Ohio fans. If you live in Michigan, that's just the way it is.

Yeah, I've been looking at bronze wheels, that's a good idea.

With these bronze wheels we've been looking at, are they just painted bronze or is the metal actually colored that way?

My Mav is coming with 19" wheels which is not something I'd choose, both because I am worried it will feel every pothole and because there will be less options for tires when it's time to replace the OEM tires. So, I'd been planning that if I didn't like the ride of the 19's to replace the wheels with probably the same 17" size used on other Mavs. And, if I'm buying wheels, I could get the bronze ones because they do look sharp. (I also like black wheels to be fair.)

I've been looking at the Sparco All Terrain Gravel on Tire Rack. But they have a bunch of bronze options on there.

nearly every wheel has a painted or powdercoated finish, even silver. the only exceptions I'm aware of are billet.

colini,

I'll want to look my actual truck over when it arrives. However, looking at pictures that are starting to come in of delivered vehicles and at the images Ford's AI generates for the site though, I'm not sure there is as much chrome as their used to be. Granted the front grill has all the "shiny dots" on it, but most of the rest seems to be greyish plastic. On both the front and back the casing around the blue oval doesn't seem to be chrome any longer; it looks like it's now black. (That could just be the photography though.) I think you're probably right that my AWD and Hybrid badges will be chrome though. This seems like it's definitely a case of be patient and wait and see. Thanks for the opinion, because chrome letters look stunning on the black, blue, and red trucks that I've seen pictured..

your profile looks like you've ordered a lariat. the lower fascia trim is definitely lighter colored than other trims. is it chrome, no, but it is a light silver. and then you have the finish on the wheels also.
