    Hey guys, I haven;t been on the forums lately and finally got on. I see some talk about the decals and timing. If you have questions or want to placer an order, please email me at rlmsigns@gmail.com. Or my facebook page rlmsigns. As far as production goes, I am still working and sending orders weekly. I get about 3 orders a day which leads to 15 a week. I can only work on these during the weekend as my full time job has be working 60 plus hours a week. I understand everyone is excited to get their decals, and trust me , you will. I had an issue with a bad roll of material that set me back a week and I am catching up. Please keep in mind these are made to order and not sitting on the shelf. I also respond to all emails and facebook messages, so if you are messaging me on T.W. and not getting a response, please try those.

    Yes i can send to canada, i have sent a few already. Shipping is a little more. I think it's about $24 in shipping and my prices cover up to $12.00. So figure another $12 added to the costs. Email me your address, decal size and with or without TRD logo and I;'ll get you a paypal invoice. I'll also check shipping rates as some locations were no extra costs. rlmsigns@gmail.com Thanks,

    I wasn’t actually inquiring with Jason as to which size he has on his truck.

    But since I have your attention, would you prefer an email to be sent to place an order? Or since your on-line at the moment, would a PM be your preference?

    A little update guys...
    Worked a full day on orders to catch up. I got 16 orders shipping Tuesday as USPS is closed tomorrow for the holiday. I also have a bunch orders unpaid. So please keep in mind, once the order is paid it goes on the list for production. Thanks for your patience and support.

    Ok guys for all of you who have not received your hood decal here is my update after reading some of these posts. I too had not had a confirmation so I decided to email Michael on a Sunday and within minutes I got an email from him. He explained very clearly that this is his side job and works very hard to get them out on time and in order of paid orders. If you are concerned about your order email him don’t message him. Patience is a vertue and remember to support small businesses in America.

    Some have asked me about the install, here's a synopsis of what I did for my extra wide decal:

    The decal arrives encased in a tube, I unrolled it and placed it under books a few days to get it flat, much easier to work with if its flat as a board; used the baby shampoo / water mixture because I could use a lot for cheap, theres no such thing as too wet for this, just make sure the hood is cool and I made sure to not be in direct sunlight, garage or shade is ideal if possible.

    Instructions for install are adequate, the YouTube in this thread are also helpful. I also have a window brush / squeegee that I used to keep it wet for positioning and to remove bubbles. Take your time and it will come out well.

    I didnt align it all the way to the hood crease at the edge but a few inches down from it because decal doesnt follow the crease at the windshield perfectly,
    leaving a gap at the crease hides this. If you look at some of the install pics some show the decal and hood crease mismatch. If I were to redo I might try making the top gap match the bottom gap so its centered on the hood.

    I also used adhesive dots / labels like you can get at the office supply store to mark the corners and center lines on the decal release sheet after measuring so I could place the decal on center. Place a dot on the paint and a dot on the contact sheet then line up the dots, makes it so much easier.

    Be patient in the install, use plenty of soapy solution and measure multiple times until you're satisfied with the placement. It's not all that bad and you'll love the results.

    Only because you can't use this with your scooped hood.
