    I have an appointment this weekend with a local vinyl shop to measure and create overall layout for the hood. I can't seem to find a place interested unless they are physically installing it, but at the very least - once mine's done I can create a layout with measurements and then start contacting separate companies.

    You can't wax the hood decal so it will dry out and the edges begin to roll in a few years. It will be a mess eventually and be full of white chaulky wax lines at the edges.

    If the local vendor was not able to help, I have a 48" vinyl plotter and I stock Avery 7year matte black vinyl in both 30" and 48" rolls. I could possibly get the shape figured out and adding the pro or trd logos wouldn't be an issue. The biggest issue Is the shape as my truck is only a 2nd generation. But with some pictures and measurements I could get it going I'm sure. I've done many lettering jobs strictly from paper tracing existing letters. It takes a few templates to run till it's perfect, but definitely possible. If it was to be just a blank decal it would be cheaper. To cut the logo out it would require a transfer tape added to the face for install. And for a piece that size, I wouldn't recommend rolling it tight with the transfer tape. So shipping would be a little more costly with this option as well. Again, nothing that can't be done....if you can't get it locally.

    Maybe someone local to you with a 3rd gen can be a guineapig for measurments and such?

    I know this is working in favor of the 3rd gen trucks right now but my 2nd gen could rock one of those as well!

    I think the part that makes the decal in the original post different If the front looks smaller in width. This is making a more severe angle on the sides which I think makes it more aggressive looking.

    As long as it's scoopless! The vinyl will not contour well over the scoop
