neither
if you have to matte would stick out more. If I had a complementary color I'd might consider that.
IE if you were doing your badges in red - had red calipers, etc etc - then red letters.
If stock - leave it alone
bear in mind I'm the guy that would pay an extra 100 if ford would give me the option of getting a 2019 without that at all. Part of what lead me to getting the 2017 aside from the pricing, but I do honeslty think I'd trade tail gates if I trade trucks.

I had gotten these and couldn't be happier with how they look and are holding up. I think these look better than just a vinyl decal.

@RootedOddity Those do look sharp on black, especially if one is "into chrome". thanks for sharing the link.

I'd say matte but don't take my word for it as i wouldn't put any stickers on my truck.

Yea, I debated this one and the chrome one. Finally decided on the chrome one, and I really can't see the black one looking as good. Oh, and my truck is a Blue Jeans color, chrome just looks good on this color.

Although Magnetic and the glossy inserts is looking pretty good in that picture.. At the very least, if I don't like it. Its an easy fix.

The 5'5" bed can pull off having no stickers easy. Its the 6'6" and especially the 8 ft that looks strange without something. Yet if they had never put them there in the first place anything would look out of place.
If you can't tell by now, I don't know what the f**k to do...

I'm still debating this as well. I have an oxford white, and to me the indentions look like an afterthought. And thus need highlighting lest they be annoying.
But for me, not overly contrasting...so I'm leaning Tuffskins in a subtle contrast like chrome, stone or silver.
