    My brother in law helped me out. He's tall and has long arms so that helped me a ton. Just read the paper directions and it was done like that.

    Should look real good on that tan or lighter colors. Plus less glare if you use a light bar

    Is that a black taco? If so could you grab some photos of it in the sunlight? I want to pull the trigger on an extra wide for my black taco, I'm just not sure how well the subtle contrast would be. TIA!!!

    Tip - mark your center points on decal and hood top and bottom. Then just line it up.

    This vinyl looks sharp. I'm afraid I would screw up the install

    Wet application is pretty forgiving. You just got to remember not to force anything and it'll be all good.

    I not sure why your tint guy had such a problem. I installed mine in about a 1/2 hour with no issues at all and I had never done it before. I did use the Rapid Tac and I had to say that is the only way to go. I have a buddy of mine coming over Saturday and I going to put his on as well. Hopefully I can put it on in 25 min. this time.

    Agree on Rapid Tac. I have installed lots of decals using the wet method etc. Rapid tac is best.
