    Just picked up my first tacoma a month ago and wanted to add inserts to the tailgate letters. Seems to be a 1,000 different options online. What is the best option out there? Are the OEM Toyota worth the $?

    I just got the Eyecatcher Pro letters. Not sure if the Pro are that big of an upgrade over the standard ones, $30 more but I wanted the American flag design.

    I got mine on Amazon, do not recall the exact brand. But they are raised plastic type. I then wrapped them with 3m retroreflective vinyl/tape, so black during the day and bright at night, extra points for blinding people with their highs on.

    Imo, these trucks, or any look stupid with their name plastered everywhere on them. I've seen all colors from chrome letters to white and black. I prefer to see a clean vehicle not cluttered with a bunch of graphics.

    I second zoo truck.
    At purchase time I asked the dealer to take off all of the "frufru," (decals and plastic badging). IMO the truck looks better.
    Anyone who wants to know if I am somehow ashamed of the make can ask me and find out.

    I bought the eyecatcher pro letters of Amazon as well because I wanted the Mono black flag. Really like the depth and little bit of extra pop the pro version adds. They have more a raised 3D effect and imo look amazing.

    Do these hold up in the weather and elements? I’m concerned for the stickers falling off

    Yes, I do have one.
    It is pretty much just black during the day time, since it is "retroreflective" which will reflect light straight back to the source, and that would be the sun during daytime. The only time you can tell it is a retroreflective tape during the day is if you happen to have your headlights on.

    Its like da, What type of truck are you driving? What really cracks me up is some of these guys have large black letters saying tacoma stuck across the top of their windshields. Thought that crap disappeared in the 70's.
