This the Black Platinum from the Ford accessory website. I used my Ford Pass points to get them free.

I also got the black platinum. When you received them was the sticky side red tape as badly worn on yours as they were on mine? If so, any problems with them adhering to the paint?

I had the same. I am also not happy with all the edges of the letters. For 100 bucks I was expecting a better quality. At the end of the day I put the letters on and they seem to be ok and stable.

I agree, the edges are not clean either. I also bought the hood protector which I'll eventually put on but not exactly enthused about the quality.

It depends on if you want 'pop' or not - I did the stainless and like the 'pop' they give, but contemplated the black stainless -- I agree, was less than enthused with the quality of the edges but once applied they blend in to the stamping well...Enjoy your trucks!!!

Exactly it will not pop with the matte black for sure. I liked the one that had the stainless or chrome. Looks bad to the bone. But my personal preference is the the Maverick to stand out.

I'm still debating if I should put them on or not. Not because of the looks, I think the black platinum will look good on the alto blue, but because of the quality of the edging of the letters. How do you feel about them after having them on for a while now?

I am actually pretty happy with it. It looks really great on my truck and even though I am super OCD, the quality issues are hardly noticeable. I would go for it.

I went with the orange letters on eBay. They’ve been on for two months and through the car wash multiple times with no issue. Only took about ten minutes to apply.

Does that orange match the XLT interior accent orange?

I put the black reflective on that I bought off of eBay. They have been posted here already. They look a dark grey and give a subtle look to the letters. Haven’t seen them at night yet, but I like the look in daylight.

Alto Blue with patriotic letters on tailgate. eBay, about $35. Easy peasy installation. Seem to be good quality. People who see them love 'em.
I think I will get this lettering for my Alto blue, when ever I get it. Still waiting
