I would like to see a FX2 bed decal with carbon fiber in the center.

Finally got around to testing the bed decal. For some reason there are a bunch of small air bubbles I'm having a hard time getting out. Not sure why because I haven't had this issue with my other stickers. I think the vinyl may have warped slightly from sitting around in hot and cold temps for months. Anyway, here are a couple pics:





Oh yea, I went through the car wash about an hour after applying the decal and it held up fine. Touch wash too.

Kobayashi Maru sound like something from the original Star Trek TV series.

You are correct sir!

Totally agree! I was thinking the same thing. Funny thing is that the font is actually about the same height as the original FX4 decal. It looks smaller because the "4" in my design overlaps the "X" and there's no "Off Road" text underneath.

I would gladly be a guinea pig! Really wanting to get rid of the stock bed decals on my rig and im on the rock. I like that FX4 design you got going there, looks real good but definitely needs to be bigger. I want to maintain the clean look, but make it more noticeable that it is a FX4. Something that says "damn right its an FX4" rather than something that is on every truck besides Raptor/HD/PL/Limited.




I'm on the rock too so shipping would be nothing!!

Well I moved a few months ago and no longer have the vinyl cutter (technically it belongs to my sister lol). I'll have to borrow it from her some time but I've actually gotten used to the size of the decal. All of the small air bubbles have also disappeared. Definitely liking it better than factory stickers. I'll post here if I need people to test again in the future.

Been a few years and noticed all the image links were broken because tinypic isn't around anymore. Re-uploaded pics directly to the forum.
