Flat

Red border around black applied to a Stone Gray Lariat. Installing is easy. Just mix dish liquid and water in a spray bottle. Spray the tailgate and back of the decal. You can adjust them easily and just use a credit card pushing over the decal to remove the excess water.

Once dry it's on there.

Anyone who went with vinyl - care to share a link for your product, if you are happy with it and the source? All I see is raised letters.

Thanks.

The company posted 3 posts above yours (https://tvdvinyldecals.com/) are vinyl. I ordered some just after he posted it. Note I did get a popup that said they are behind on shipping by as much as 7 days, but that you could use a coupon code ("YOUSAVE20" without quotes) to get 20% off. It made mine just under $20.

I did have to message them because the coupon didn't work, and they made it work for me, so YMMV with that. Still didn't think $24 was bad though.

Just purchased my decals. Can't beat this deal, under $20 for vinyl ones. Thank you!

Ordered mine from TVD Vinyl Decals off the net. They had many options to choose from.

Arrived and installed yesterday, the rear of the truck looks 10 times better! Easy installation. Very happy with it and glad I did not go with th raised ones. Highly recommended!

Awesome. Mine came in as well, but I haven't had a chance to install them yet :(

What I liked about them is that they came with extra pieces so I could practice first with the extra one. And if I screwed it up I had one to replace it.

I went with raised. Mostly because I am terrible with stickers and didn’t trust myself to place them perfectly. Raised went on super easy.

Did you buy them from BDTrims.com? If so are they the 'flat' 1/16" version? They don't look like they're domed.

I got them off of Etsy. They are not domed. I’m sorry I don’t have the link

I purchased the raised because it provides some visual definition to the lettering. They are not really raised much if any above the F-150 indent. I think it fills it our more, but that is just my preference.

So I got mine done today. Matte black vinyl. One thing to note that I did not notice until it was almost too late... The 0 is NOT symmetrical!!! The right side is thicker than the left! Luckily I was able to fix mine before it was too late.

Oh and the 5 is a giant P.I.T.A!!!
