Question side graphics

I have a black, side-step '99 F-150 lariat.
I have already added running boards, tail-light covers, brush guard, and ground effects. On my list of future mod's are some graphics for the sides. I've seen pic's of 'show trucks' with killer graphics, where do they come from and what's the price range on them?

If you find out, let me know...I want to do something with my paint, but just don't know what. Professionals always seem to be able to pull out the stuff, don't they??

This must be a black truck neiborhood. I have a vinyl graphic on the side of mine. There is 3 other black truck trucks in my area that dont have them. The graphic looks 10 times better.

There are many companies that make them. There is Illusion Graphics, Ray-Action Designs, Vinyl Graphics, Fas Graphics etc.

Agood place to start your search is Restyling magazine. www.nbm.com/restyling

check this out. Hope it helps

Thanks for the input, after looking at these air-brushing sites, I have a feeling that I could easily go broke putting stuff on my truck. I might just have to live in it....

Sorry, didn't say they were cheap. Now when you see one with a graphic you will appreciate it more!!??

Cool

Here's one for ya skyblazer...I was quoted apprx. $850 for very basic "ghost" flames on my truck. That would be on the hood, and both sides...nothing crazy. It would not change the basic color of my truck like the flame jobs that start white all over the front and fade back to deep yellow or orange at the flame tips. Ghosting would be very subtle. Hope to have it done before the Texas Heatwave show this July.

Hey cableguy,

I sincerely hope that price is with install! We usually do graphics for quite a bit less than that, even for ghost flames. I am not trying to advert or anything, but I don't want to see someone get poked like that just for graphics!!!!
