    Well I have to say it has been absolutely wonderful experience working with amirak and JupiterOnEarth. Very quick to reply after placing my order, and took the time to ensure I was ordering exactly what I was looking for. The decals arrived quickly and were exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Amirak!20180312_144845.jpg 20180303_133602.jpg

    I know the pictures are not the greatest but the weather in Maine has not been ideal for taking photos. I will get better photos as soon as we see the sun!

    Thank you so much for great photos and the honest opinion. In this company we do value our customer’s satisfaction above anything else. I am glad we didn’t disappoint.
    Enjoy them. Looks good on your white truck.

    Finally got sometime off from our hectic business and designed this highly requested decal for scooped hoods. It is basically same as Toyota installs on TRD Pros with one exception, you can customize it at no additional cost. I recently did our famous Tacoma Raptor integration on this and looks amazing.

    I really like the look of that. Been wanting something for the lettering on my black truck. Hmmm, I think I’m going to have to copy you

    Once again awesome products from @amirak !

    This is the tailgate lower blackout. It takes time and patience, but the effect is impressive.

    I finally got around to taking pictures, but they aren’t that great due to the light. I’ll take them again. Also, I haven’t inserted the vinyl letters. So there’s that too.

    It's all about lighting. At different lights it should pop. Besides, some people like it subtle.

    That’s what I like about it... it’s subtle. If you look back at the other things @amirak has done for me, you will see that I’m going for that vibe, but obvious to me. As he says, with the MGM it is all about lighting. I am very surprised at how many people notice and come up to ask questions or comment on them.

    Not sure if this has already been requested, but I was wondering if you have considered making a decal for the door handles? I have a 18’ super white TRD sport and I wanted to get black handles to replace the white ones, however if you can create a decal that can go over the white ones, i’d be willing to buy it. Is this something you would consider doing?

    Looks awesome @NoOne . I still need to lay mine down. Got any tips on the install? Especially around the letters when you mold them?

    I was planning to write up some “how to” for it, but just haven’t gotten to it yet.
    Quick Tips:
    Wet install (everything). Do your rough layup and masking tape it in place along the upper edge (use wide tape). Flip up and remove the backing and wet the tailgate and the vinyl. Remember that water drips down, so wet above the top and majority the top. Fold back down to roughly the correct spot. Remove the back mask, so it’s just you the wet vinyl and the wet tailgate. Slide as needed to get things set for the centering and top edges... start working to squeegee from center and top to bottom lower and lower. When all you have left is depressing the letters, you’re in good shape. To do them, take your time and work one letter at a time. Use a hair dryer or heat gun on low setting to warm up the letter and allow you to work it down. You will have to ‘pop’ them to let the air/water out. I used a needle at an angle in the lowest corners of the letter. You will have to occasionally reopen them with the needle as well as reapply warmth. It was probably 2/3/4 times per letter. Don’t worry, they close and you won’t be able to find them. Oh, for me, - I use a sheet of blue shop paper towel to wad and create pressure as well as absorb excess liquid that is being pushed out. They’re great for spraying and cleaning first too! Also, my soapy is a few drops of car wash in water in a spray bottle (don’t use dawn, etc). Total time is probably 2-4 hours depending on effort/skill/etc. I did it in sun with the tailgate in shade. Patience is helpful, take your time.

    Hope that helps. Ask questions if you still have some. I put the fill letters on today. No photos yet.
