well I finally had some time and with a few days back and forth with my buddy Chris (06spiceygoat) we came up with a new design and put the fraptor away for a bit.

So after applying vinyl for the first time on a bedside of a truck and about 40 minutes in my garage I laid out the new graphics.

I had a little bit of a tough time applying due to the 25 degree temp outside and the vinyl being tough to work with when its so cold so I had to do a little trimming down the end.


Enjoy folks!!

all done the next day ( no there is no trailer hitch and yes I know I'm close to the infinity it's how close we have to park on the roof)

That looks really great. Did you do the paint yourself? I would like to fix my 1998 up as it has the old clear coat paint and it is gone on the roof and hood from the sun and heat of Kansas. Paint is an area of automotive repair that I will need to learn and I would welcome any pointers.

Wrap that son'bitch flat black! Lol if u can find a shop/ company to wrap her it'll be alot less expensive than repainting truck. It's still and investment but you'll save.

I actually bought my truck with real lousy paint and I watched a lot of YouTube videos and help from the forum I got myself a nice machine with a few pads and I waxed it again and again and again and finally my paint looked 100x better than when I got it but I still wish I got the wet glossy look but I think my paint on my truck was too fat gone
