FL WTB Tailgate band (Black)

[big_al_71]

Hey guys
I am looking for the tailgate band that says "Chevrolet" but the one I want is the one that does not have the woodgrain tape on it. I prefer the one that is black tape so it would match the rest of the trucks moldings.


thanks

All the tailgate bands came with woodgrain tape.If you get one black someone has removed the tape and painted black or there maybe some in aftermarket but I don't know about that.

The outside dimensions are the same as the factory one. The letters are slightly different (copyright??). All they will need to do is add some screw holes to attach it to the tailgate. It is made from a 3/8" sheet of aluminum. The cost is just slightly more than the thin piece of aluminum aftermarket ones... Just polish and paint it, .

It's straight out of the milling machine, I haven't done anything to it yet.

I am anxioustly waiting to see how it comes out Rob, I may go with one like yours. Alot of the guys suggested that I should add the tailgate band I never really thought about it till they mentioned it.
