Ya, mines a lot worse. I had painters tape along the bottom of my old decal so I could use it for an edge. By time I noticed it was uneven it was too late and I couldn't take the decal back off. Going to have to get another one now. Might not be so bad since I'm kind of up in the air on these ones anyways.

Matt, a trick I use to put on decals like that is I tape it on the truck before removing the backing and then get about 10 feet away and make sure it's straight. And if it's split masking on it I will leave it taped to the truck and then remove half the mask on the back and after that half is done I will remove the remaining mask and finish the decal.

Oh and make sure you use blue painters tape.

That sounds like a good way Dave. I just taped along the bottom of my old decals before I took them off. It worked on the first one so I thought I was onto somethin.

So it's are just a lil' off haha... You said the size was different but it might be just the fact that the font is a little different.

I have the "F" in the same spot on the passenger side as the old decal and it's about 2" shorter than the stock one. You can see where the old sticker was, going to have to do some polishing and waxing I guess.

Wife ran into an airborne piece of 18 wheeler highway tire shrapnel yesterday, messed up the front bumper cover on her TX. Some idiot lane changed and ran it over, shooting it airborne right right at her car, hitting it. Good thing it wasn't any higher. Now that's three things on her car that other people did to it. :o

At least it didn't come up and hit the windshield. Did the guy stop?
