Tailgate inserts

Installed the OEM flat black tailgate inserts.

 

Finally decided to add inserts. Didn't want to spend the $ for oem's so I purchased the letters from TVD Vinyl Decals. Great price and they installed easily.

 

Mine was installed at port. Debating taking it off.

 

I think these look sharp. My truck's black, and am debating what color would be best. I'm thinking either matte black, or chrome. Most badging is black on my OR, but the Toyota grill emblem, OR wheel highlights, and hybrid hood emblems are chrome.

 

I would say the American flag in full color or subdued color.

 

Black on black is kinda pointless if you’re trying to make it look noticed. I’d probably do grey inserts to give it a subdued contrast.

 

Yeah, not sure if I'm trying to draw attention as much as just fill it in. To my eye it looks unfinished without inserts. Grey's a good option.

 

At least with a grey there is enough contrast to see the word Tacoma easier.

 

I like the matte black inserts they look good next to the gloss black paint.

 

I went with the TVD vinyl and am very happy with the results.

 

They look good nice job!

 

I went gloss black with a red outline. Looks sharp AF on underground.

 

Is there any thickness to these or are similar to a sticker?

 

No thickness. Here's a link: Vinyl Letter Decals for 2024 Tacoma Tailgate – TVD Vinyl Decals
For about $24 shipped, they are really good quality and fairly easy to install if you go by the directions.

 

yeah, Ive always thought looks better / cleaner without...
but, everyone has their own opinion & preference..

 

Same here. Some people love to add accessories just because there are accessories available like window rain visor, hood protect visors, stickers, vinyls, plastic bits here and there but to me it looks very tacky and not a clean look. But whatever floats their boat haha.

 

Pull your tailgate inserts off today and post a picture of that clean look.

 

Don’t worry about me bro. I’ll take my time in building my truck. Work on your “stock” truck to make you happy.

 

I really wasn’t trying to be a smart A I’m curious how the BO will look without the inserts. I read my post again it does appear that way my bad bro.
