Looks awesome, definitely looking into this for my truck too. How was the install process for you guys being that it is a rounded surface? I've had plenty of installs of motocross number plates and graphics over the years and know rounded edges arent fun

He replied back to me and looking FWD to getting them done.
He did say: that he can not do the Chrome because of the type of vinyl used for the chrome will crease & wrinkle.
As someone asked about the "curved areas & edges" a little earlier in this thread, I have had experience with the type of vinyl that he uses (which I believe is the "Oracle" brand & style")...it indeed has wrapping capabilities and easy enough to manipulate over these curved areas, but you still need to have some finesse & patience.
He also said that he has a vinyl that matched the Ruby Red... and I will just use the silver metallic for the accent where the chrome letters would be.
I'm sure it will look great & will post pics once the transaction & complete & I get them on.

As others say, it can be a bit tedious and you need some patience.....don't have any distractions present...lol. I was lucky that the rear and steering wheel overlays lined up on first few tries. I had more of a time with the front emblem. Took me 3-4 attempts until I got placement right. Quality is very good and takes the contours/curves very well. I did take a heat lamp or you can use a hair dryer to kind of heat seal the curves so they stick well. I found it worked well on the steering wheel to fit in well. On the steering wheel, I used a small toothpick with the heat to press in around the edges, as it's such a small area. He sends great instructions with his orders, so you'll have no troubles.

Does anyone know why the seller doesn't recommend using soapy water method to install?

I think he is the same seller I got my oval and f150 overlays from. Great person to deal with. Very easy to install, did em on my lunch break in 10 mins.

I think it's a bit different material than what Moody uses, and he doesn't recommend soapy water. I have had Moody's before and neither method seems any easier to me. I provably spent more time in Moody's using a credit card over a towel to get the air bubbles and water squeezed out.
