Default so had some new vinyl installed

well, I couldn't decide on how I wanted to break up my hood as I had the hockey stripes put on the sides. The stock hood graphic is a square on the 13's and the 14's have a pretty cool multi colored graphic. This is what we came up with

Haven't seen another truck with it so it adds to the cool factor.


for reference

The color is a light silver with a bit of flake to it- not sure if its visible from the photos.

criticism welcomed

I like it, works nicely with the lines of the hood. Definitely needed to do something, I can see the need to break it up a bit with all the white paint and the black grille. Was a little to plain, but this took care of it!

I hope it holds up. Ive had bad luck with vinyl stripes. They always get spotted since I live near a coal plant.

that's what we were going for. having the lines on the hood there made using the knifeless tape that much easier. stuff is pretty cool really-

I am in AZ, so it will definitely take beating from the sun and all the dust/rocks that get thrown up. but for now- party on

Looks good. You do it yourself or you know a guy in the valley you'd recommend?

No I had the vinyl ordered and applied by someone in surprise. There isn't a template for this pattern, but he took pictures and said while it's a pain in the ***, the body lines make it somewhat easier
