I dig the way it looks though. Been thinking about doing the same to mine. How did you cut the one on the hood?

Yeah, I did the dash before I learned how to really do it properly. I have a heat gun now...

I used "Knifeless Finish Line Tape" on the hood.

Hi guys. I've ordered some custom bedside decals to replace my XTR ones. Any tips before they arrive, how to make sure I'm installing in the same spot and that they will be completely "level"? I'm guessing tape off around the old decal before I peel it off, for a positioning area.....making sure the new decal will be level is my worry. Only the slightest off level will be noticeable. Thanks for your help!

I'm dragging this one back out. My 2005 fx4 had the carbon fiber center stack from the factory.
I liked that look, much better than the silver stack and floor shifter my 2014 fx4's black interior has this time.
I think I'm going to give carbon fiber look a try.

I measured 3 or 4 places from the top of the bed to ensure the decal would be level with it.

Ultimately I think I am about 1/2 inch, or so, higher than the original decal but it isn't noticeable.. And it is level with the bed and light.
