Is this what you are looking for? The corners of the letters are starting to peel a bit, but they've been on over a year.

Yep. That's exactly what I'm looking for. I ordered some overlays and they should be here this week sometime. How does it look in person? The pictures never do it justice.

I like it. They won't last forever, but that gives me the option to change it up. Seen some with subdued flags, and maybe even go red when I get a chance to paint the tow hooks too.
It's a cheap mod and easy to do as long as you have patience. I sat on a tall bucket to do it, because I got a bad back. Made it much more comfortable and allowed more patience.

Do you just clean the surface really well and then put it on like a sticker?
Looks nice

Nothing special. I think I used window cleaner before applying the decals. Maybe wiped it with a lint free (microfiber) cloth.

I've posted pics elsewhere, but better add a couple to the OFFICIAL Billet Silver thread!! I'm really liking the color. It is a VERY rich shade of silver with a lot of metallic flake in it. I'll post a few more pics once I get the initial "upgrades" finished: Fuel wheels off my old truck, vanity plates, and mud flaps. I also have a tonneau cover on order.

Nice, nice, nice! Would like to see the mudflaps when you get them.

Yes, I'll take close-ups of them. I ordered DuraFlaps in short and long versions for front and rear to see how they looked and was going to send the alternative set back. I did not open the packages, but held them up to the truck to decide which ones to do. The answer is long, BUUUUUT there was another problem. They do not extend out far enough to provide the protection I need.
I live on a gravel road (minimum 2.5 miles of it no matter which way I drive) and with my line of work I have to go on many more gravel roads regularly. My 2018 I had the Mopar molded poly ones which I didn't care for (they were hollow and held water, dirt, and mud INSIDE them. My 2020 I put WeatherTech ones on which were very high quality and looked great, but they weren't long enough especially in the front.
I'm going to be in touch with DuraFlap to see what alternatives they may have (I believe they'll actually custom-make flaps to your liking). If I can't get what I wish from them my other two choices are Luverne and GatorBack.
The GatorBack ones look incredible, however I think they're also going to be too short and they are VERY expensive.
The Luverne ones look very similar to the DuraFlaps.
