    I HIGHLY suggest that unless you have lots of experience with vinyl decals that you find a professional to do it. its a very large piece and difficult to put on right. I'm lucky that i have a friend in the business and he did mine for free. After watching him apply it, I am extremely happy I didnt attempt to do it myself.

    I've done a few but nothing that large. Read up on it and a lot guys have done it themselves with a second person to help. A few even did it without a second but it's kind of hard to manage a piece that big alone. Lots of soapy water is the trick. Helps that it's a flat surface, too.

    Im not saying it can't be done, but its a lot harder than it looks. after watching my friend do it, i wouldnt want to try myself. Others have, but that doesnt mean they got the perfect results that I got. if they messed up you wouldnt tell from a pic and i doubt anyone would say they did.

    Hopefully I'll get it by next week. Taking the week off so I'm gonna black out my parts. Be great if I can get that done too. And my predator tube steps should be in as well. Mod week for me! Woot! Might even start shopping for tires for realz....:spy:

    I'm sure a window tint place could handle it. Or look for a place that offers clear paint protection installation.

    I want to do the matte black wrap vinyl on my Tacoma. I can't decide on full wrap, follow the conoured edge that goes up from the grill edges, or what..
