This is just my opinion, but something to consider...

The Raptor is an off road themed truck from the factory. FordMan's truck is simmiliar; aftermarket wheels/tires, sits higher than stock, etc. These are the trucks where this will look good. If you do this to a stock truck that is not pursuing the theme the graphics were meant for, it will not give the same effect. In fact, it will look out of place and IMO, ugly.

I am not a fan of vinyl graphics for daily drivers that don't have a reason to have them (I.E. business vehicle, show truck) but in some cases (FordMan being one) they come out alright.

Ya like FordMan7 said the guy that did his is figuring out mine now...he has to make it fit a scab. I'm putting a lift and bigger tires on my truck in a couple weeks and I wouldn't have even thought about putting it on a reg truck like GTRider said- Its got to be a least a B.A. looking truck already or it would just look down right stupid.

Ya its pretty simple but it took me like 5hrs to do it but we took our time doin it. The hardest part is finding the ***** to drill into the top of your truck and taking out the top part of your interior. There is a guy who did a write up on how to do it-its easier to follow his than the instructions they give you- just use the search, should be easy to find. And make sure you get the dodge ones they look a lot better.

Ya as long as you can just do "X"in. from the sides- the middle one will just line up with the slots on top of your truck the you just do "X"in. from that center one. You just got to play with it and see what you like. Bout time more people start putting them on their trucks they make it look beast.
