    Sweet ride man, looks amazing. Isn't it sad though for $40,000 they can't even put on a bed decal straight???

    Haha. I actually took off the stock bed decal and put the black ones on. I probably should of waited as it was super windy at my house that day. Measured when I put it on and it all looked fine and even from the bed rail down, but looking at this last picture, definitely looks a little skewed

    He just admitted he put it on himself. So my statement becomes irrelevant.

    Looks great man!

    What method did you use to avoid air bubbles from getting under the decal?
    I tried installing a new bed decal but unfortunately got a lot of air bubbles under it. Gonna try again

    Great job! Your truck looks awesome.

    I am one of the few that love the original grill, but you did a great job and it looks nice on the truck!

    No special application method. I did end up getting a more expensive 3M sticker so not sure if that had something to do with it.
