4x4 stickers on rear panel...

Since your door handles and badges are chrome, I would get them remade in chrome. Black will look out of place unless you plan on blacking the rest out.

edit...After looking at it again, do you intend to get HD tails or night shades the ones you have? If so, then remove the 4X4 or have them made in black.

I've taken them off every truck I've owned within days of bringing it home. I've also never seen a "chrome" decal that didn't look like it was found in the air freshener isle at a truck stop.

since you have the black headlights and your windows are tinted black maybe go with a black and light silver decal. i think black outline with silver backround would flow nice

Seriously, Blackout, how hot is your trucks interior in the Florida sun when you come back after shopping for an hour?

Anyone for fried chicken?

Blue, like the tails suggestion I've been thinking about it.

Blackout, killer suggestion bro. I suppose I go to Patriotdecals for these right?
(I don't mean to switch gears on the thread, blame it on Blue)
Did you nightshade your tails? I know I want to go that route next. but I've seen some that look duller than others--yours have a nice gloss shine to them.

good job bro, it came out sick.. you made me proud!!i bet the contrast of the flat black and gloss black on the decal look even better in person. i know mine looks so much better in person than in the pics

-i grew up in new bedford and then moved out to springfield.

-i always email patriotdecals with my orders, just to make sure its exactly the way i want it

- nope played football and baseball , but i watch hockey once in a while

you should have a custom one made like rjaeger's just change the colors. i think the 4x4 offroad is sweet
