Tailgate upgrades
I put new chrome tailgate hardware on last night and added white lettering to the "CHEVROLET". Here is a before and after shot. What do you guys think?
Do I keep the white lettering? This was a cheap sticker kit from LMC and if I like it I'll get it painted. I'm thinking the white on the gate goes well with the white trim down the sides. Thanks, Scott |

Re: Tailgate upgrades
I like it. Would look good with the chrome decals also.

Re: Tailgate upgrades
I like it as well. It really brightens up the back end and makes it look deluxe like the rest of the truck.

Re: Tailgate upgrades
I like it too, not a fan of the chrome letters, like the white, how do they look close up?

It surprisingly looks pretty good up close. Except for a little wrinkle here and a micro bubble there. I got better as I went so the C H is probably the worst. I think having it painted is down the road a ways. This should hold me through the summer. I'd say for the money if you are contemplating putting some zing in your gate the vinyl stickers are a good cheap way to see if you like it. There are a bunch of colors. Oh, and from 4-5 feet out you cannot tell it's a sticker. |

Re: Tailgate upgrades
The white letters, the chrome chains, the whole deal looks just right on that truck to me!
