What's everyone doing for vinyl lettering on the grill?

Thanks, I'm going to be laying a tiny layer around the grill letters with clear finger nail polish to guarantee the hold. I Did this with my bike decals and had no worries. More along the lines of going through high pressure sprays/High speed runs.
FYI: When applying nail polish: Every 4-5 inches, rub your finger on top/bottom so you don't get any on the sides of the letters. Just to be sure all thats glossy is the front of your letters/edge vinyl.
If you ever want to remove vinyl, use nail polish remover and that's a wrap! Win/Win scenario

Hey guys I ordered some yesterday from Outlaw. After going to the website it says 29.99 but when you place in cart it bumps up auto to 59.99. Tried every way possible and it wouldnt work so I called them. The guy on the phone was really nice told me they were 29.99. When I told him about the website he said "thats weird" I will look into it. They did charge me shipping though so total stickers and shipping was $37. Which is not bad in my opinion. Just wanted to post and share, so if website still is buggy, just give them a call.

Swampking, What color combo did you go with? I really want to do this but tring to figure out which color for a red truck. Saw a picture awhile back with what looked like silver letters. I really liked the look of it.

Go with Carbon, you'll love! Black is pretty legit too! Here's a picture of both.....the black is the cheap EBay but you can get at outlaw and will look tons better.

Have a 2012 Ignot Silver Raptor. What color combo do you think would look best?

Thinking just a carbon, matte, or gloss black would look good, but don't think the outline in the colors available would so much. (to me anyway)

Who makes custom or solids?

What you have matching that Red SVT logo I see in ur avatar? Might be good going with carbon/red. That would tie the SVT in a bit better or just go Carbon. I prefer carbon or black either solid or outlined. Them bright solid colors is too much, Just personal opinion. The outlined letters kinda let the truck speak for itself as for the bright solid colors, "Look at my FORD raptor!"
Race red and Raptors does that too well already, lol

Yep, red/carbon is what I was thinking but thought solid black would set it off and not be too much.

Now in the picture the carbon stands out. From a distance it brings out the grill a great bit! Almost makes the grill 3d'ish if you catch my drift.....

Now white outline/carbon is a good candidate as well, may look great ......the shine in the sun of silver is piercing and you might be able to get away with it, your call. Either way, can't go wrong!

Anyone want a free one? I need someone to test it out to see if the size is correct. I just finished working on the template. I have two versions I want to do... solid vinyl and printed 3M product we use when doing wraps.

I have a new 2012 Raptor with less than 400 miles on it, but would like opinions from people who have had theirs longer. Just send me a PM with your info and ill send this week.
