Tailgate Letter Decal Inserts

[dtrick]

I'm thinking about purchasing tailgate MAVERICK letter decal inserts but I'm not sure how durable they are. Will they stand up to weather (e.g. rain, snow, ice, etc.), car washes, pressure washing, etc.? I like the look of the letter decals but I don't want them peeling off at some point in the future. Any comments from anyone who has installed these would be appreciated. Also, what brand have you installed? Thanks

I bought what Ford sells and even had the dealer install before I picked up the Truck. 2 years and a couple of months later, they are still fine.

lots of posts on this. I bought the cheapest 3D ones I could find. Basically hard plastic. 6 months now and no issues.

These have been on mine since early 2022. If I remember right I got them from etsy.com

I put the red , white and blue flag letters, on in Jan 25. They are still good.

They last a really long time.

5 to 10 years.

For a $40 item (sometimes less) not much to worry about.

I might need the 3D ones soon.
My decal ones have one or two small
Issues but not bad after 2 years.

Thanks for everyone's responses - greatly appreciated!

One more question, our Maverick is Shadow Black (i.e. gloss black). Do you think the gloss black or the matte black letters would look better? By the way, we also have the Black Appearance Package so we already have matte black decaling on the front hood.

Grabbed a set for each of our Mavs on Etsy. They are 2 tone and plastic and look awesome.
The one set is a great match to the Tremor yellow/gold.

Black on black? Why bother.
Waste of time and money.

THE WHOLE POINT is CONTRAST.

White or Chrome is the way. (try black chrome for something "less bright").

This is "black chrome".
Looks black in some light; looks like chrome in other light.

A toned down version of chrome.

EXACTLY !!! Couldn't agree with you more

That is a nice choice that I didn't even consider. The bottom line is if you're proud of what you're driving, you want the whole world to know what it is. Make it "legible" to all those around you.
