    I think those letters paired well with the bumper caps.

    so previous owner put red vinyl letter on tailgate.

    i just bought some Matte Black inserts.

    problem is the red letters are a little larger than the black inserts.
    I am not nearly talented enough to get these inserts dead center of ref to have that thin outline.

    any suggestions?
    will pulling if the vinyl jack up my paint?

    Use a fingernail to start the vinyl and you’ll be ok.

    I was considering getting the reflective letters I seen on etsy. Black, but highly reflective. I wonder if it would look horrible? lol

    If you clean the area with rubbing alcohol then spray the truck and the decal letters with some soapy water (in spray bottle) you will be able to positiom your letters very well. Once the decals are in your "spot" squeeze water out with finger tip and let dry.
