Letter inserts (yay or nay)?

I just received the set I ordered from LUDesigns and they look pretty good. He sent a link to an install video using water but not soapy water. I wasn't very impressed with the install. He has the F way too far left onto the raised portion. Looks like someone's first attempt at doing this. Instead of using a felt edged squeegee, he was pressing with his thumb creating lumps and bubbles that he said would mostly vanish when dry.
I had a local shop install them after they did the paint correction before ceramic coating. There were a few air bubbles in the "F" and the "0" after install but after a couple of weeks in the sun they have disappeared and are completely flat now. I agree with you on his video instructions though. Good luck with getting your inserts installed and I hope you're pleased with the outcome as well. They do look great once on the truck.
 
Okay so I finally installed the letters that I got from LUdesignsNY. For the most part they went on pretty easy following his video instructions. I have quite a bit of experience putting stickers on like this but usually the vinyl I use is a bit thicker as it's applied to motocross bikes. I need to let it stay in the Sun for a while to get rid of a few of the smaller bubbles but I'll update everyone with how it actually finally works out after a week or so of sunlight. There's some pics.

They look good. He used just water on the install in the video. I installed some on the Raptor I used to have and added a bit of soap and that made positioning really easy. Tempted to try that when my truck arrives.
 
Looks good! I got mine in this week from LUdesignsNY……..now if I could just my truck!
 
I'm liking the orange outline in the regular color of the truck... anyone got an orange outline on a silver tremor ??

Had mine installed free by my dealer. They add just the right amount of bling. I couldn't be any happier.
 
I have a very strong interest in doing this. But with a twist. Would like to use a color matching ghosting effect with orange outline. Similar to how “Ghost” police cars are marked. When seen at night it pops….
Have any of you seen stickers made with this type material?
 
What is the color combo here?
Matte black with “tremor orange” from VIP graphics, unfortunately Ford lawyers forced them to stop making them, but this guys supposed to be good. And @DRS70 , he offers color matching as well so it might work for you too. Good luck!

Thanks for the response. I have the Atlas Blue.

I have Black reflective on my 2018 f150 shows black in day refkects at night
 
Looks great. Do you have link to purchase? Thanks
Mine were done by a company that no longer makes them, but this guy on Etsy has a good reputation.

I got mine on Etsy. They are decals and I love them. What ever you like, you’re the one paying the bill.
 
I purchased the ones off of the ETSY site LUDesignsNY in the gloss black with copper orange outline. I think they look pretty sweet on my 22' AMB. Here are a few shots of my truck, Ole Bleu. View attachment 6077View attachment 6075View attachment 6076
I got a 2023 5.0 Tremor coming soon. Your truck looks just like the way I am planning. Can you take a moment to tell me what you used to lift the front end and did you touch the rear at all. Much appreciated!
