    image.jpg So, I was looking for some inexpensive ways to customize the new Taco and ran across the tailgate letter inserts on Amazon. Anyone had a chance to try these out?? Just curious if they would last. The ratings seem to be really good. Thought they would look good on a white truck...

    That's what I had, liked them too. Now I have 3M on my Tundra but not reflective.

    Look here https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ve-black-vinyl-decal-tailgate-inserts.398784/

    Everything @rrentrop makes is very high quality, and everyone here (including myself) says his customer service is best in the business.

    I'm waiting for them to arrive. I ordered the black matte for my white lady. That with dipped emblems will do the trick

    I went with this guy. Adam Tuesday Mata. Small business operation with high quality and superb customer response. I've ordered a tailgate lettering, glovebox insert, and multiple small flag sets. High quality and if you have an installation question you can usually get an answer within a few hours if not immediately. I placed an order and he hit me on messenger just to make sure I got what I wanted and knew how to install.

    I have the Tacoma, SR5 and the tail gate letters on mine, and I removed the tailgate and placed it horizontal up on two plastic saw horses I have, which I think made it easier than applying them then with the tailgate vertical.

    That's way way too much work. Put them on wet as TEQ decals shows.
