I ordered mine in Oxford White and plan to get the raised lettering filled with either:

- matte/satin black
- dark gray to match the custom decal work that’s coming
- white with black outlining (if anyone sees this color combo available as a raised lettering option, as opposed to flat vinyl, please let me know)

Pick up day is tomorrow! Just under 6 months waiting

Happy for you Sleepy! May the purchase process go smoothly and your Mav runs like a champion..

Yeah, I'm good with shiny stainless letters.

Nice license plate...Thank you for your service.

I went with the matte black 3D on my Atlas Blue. I was really undecided over a number of other choices that would have been more extreme, but finally decided to go with something similar to the black trim on the truck. I've been very happy with the choice.

Stealth chrome I presume?

I installed the Tufskinz letters in matte black. A little pricey at $59 but they are high quality and a Ford accessory. I ordered them directly from Tufskinz. I think the molded letters much easier to install than the vinyl ones. I was hesitant about putting letters on the tailgate, but from a distance, without the letters and not close enough to see the debossed letters, the rear tailgate looks like it has this big blank spot and the letters kind of fill that in.

Hmmm. Look a LOT like the 3D raised black letters I got on Amazon for $20.

Looks similar. But the Tufskinz one aren't ABS plastic as far as I can tell. They have a slight give to them almost like a hard rubbery material, they are made in the USA, have 3m adhesive and are supposed to be able to last the life of the vehicle.
Not saying the Amazon ones are bad or that the Tufskinz ones aren't a little overpriced. I don't mind paying for something for my car if it is good quality and I'm happy with them. Regardless of which people buy, I'd recommend the molded letters over the vinyl letters. I tried some vinyl ones first and I couldn't believe how thin the vinyl was. They were harder to apply and I creased a letter trying to apply it.

Lettering definitely improves the look of the truck.

Chrome lettering on the hot pepper Red looks great.

I thought I would add a pole to see if you think the Tailgate lettering improves the appearance of the Maverick or does it look best as delivered.

Also thought for those who prefer which color is your favorite.

Obviously this is personal choice and mean no offence either way just interested in general opinion amount the group

Thank you for your time.
