Find a shop that offers a warranty with their work. I've seen lots of patch jobs that literally bubble up months later

So I found a bunch of nice rear fender decals...I think I'm going with the fx4 cuz it will match my red camo deer skull on the back of my cap...how hard is it to remove those rear decal stickers? Here are four I like and had to choose from

It's pretty easy, use a blow dryer to warm the vinyl up and soften it, then just peel it off. You may need to buff it because the paint under the old decal won't be weathered and there will be lines. I also like to mark the top and front lines of the original decal with some masking tape to help with placement.

As long as they aren't all cracked they are easy to remove. It was a pain in the a** to remove the ones on my 2002 because they had cracked all over the place. If they had that red fx4 one with gray camo it would be a perfect match for your truck.

Yeah I know...I think I'm gonna wait until it warms up anyways to order them so I might contact the company and see if they can make the red with grey camo...I bet they can make it anyway that I want. I have my emblem overlays that should be hear tomorrow but gonna have to park my truck in a garage for awhile or put them on and hit them with a hair dryer for a while to get good adhesive or just wait I guess on them as well

if you choose to wait to apply them, stick them in a plastic bag, those decals are notorious for collecting dust and particles between the backing and adhesive you wont know until you go to install and theres little **** trapped under the decal lol! I speak from experience.
