    Ive read other posts but most seems to have dead links to Amazon and such. I want black lettering for my quicksand Tacoma. Not sure on raised lettering or not and matte or gloss either. Any pics and recommendations are very much appreciated!

    The raised black looks the best on the quicksand. I've seen both in person, and the light plays nicely off of the 3-D ones.

    They have great reviews, they are made of ABS plastic (same as the OEMs), and a great price!

    Quicksand with hood protector, color matching decals on tailgate latch, mudflaps, glovebox, and tailgate hitch cover.
    OK, I can't help myself here! I also have a Quicksand Tacoma TRD Sport, and I have all the lettering blacked out. Instead of just a pic of the tailgate, since that is what you are referring to, I decided to post a link to the latest video I made last August, of my modifications to date. You will see the raised lettering on there among a lot of other things to give you ideas of!

    I got the vinyl stick-on letters. This is a 4 year old pic, but through 4 harsh winters, & 4 scorching summers, they still look like it came from the factory, that way..

    I have the Eyecatcher's and they're great. They came pretty highly recommended on this forum and I am not disappointed. Also extremely easy install.

    The vinyl inlays are meh - needs something with a little 3D to pop.
