    Any recommendations for filling in the letters on the tailgate? I have an Inferno Tacoma and I was thinking about filling the tailgate letters with black letters. Has anyone done this?

    None.
    Yes, I've done it and I went with decals from here: http://www.tufskinz.com/

    Easier to put on than decals (I've done both) as they are thick letter inserts rather than thin vinyl. I get lots of compliments. Cost more but no comparison (and I have no interest in the company, financial or otherwise).

    Any concerns about longevity? I don’t want to install decals that might not age well.

    I was wondering if the lettering is holding up? Torn between the tufskinz brand and the eyecatcher brand.
