    I already have black. Putting on camo printed vinyl, but all good I can cut it. Just figured I'd ask.

    I would only imagine that once these are available from Toyota they will likely cost 2-3 times as much, and they won't be any better quality than what I'm putting out.

    I would say you should be good. But no guarantees. It's matte black. And it will look great

    I received my decal, installed it and Plasti-Dip'ed my scoop. First time installing a decal like this and it was easier than I expected. I'm pleased with the results. The only (minor) complaint is the gap between the decal and the scoop. I realize the TRD Pros have this gap but it would be ideal if this could be minimized or eliminated. Thanks again coffeespecial for offering these.

    Wow you did an excellent job. Looks great! Thanks for the feedback. I do feel you as far as the gap is concerned, this is an exact trace of the TRD Decal. I can definitely bring it in to the body line but if I make it go down into the crease then these would require heat, and I can see a lot of people messing that process up. Doing it this way makes for an easy and clean install, and ultimately resembles TRD Pro exactly. Thanks for the feedback. You were part of the first batch that went out. The second batch had a bit better packaging. Just so glad it got to you in one piece.

    coffeespecial, if you end up modifying your pattern to have the decal follow the body line better I would definitely be interested in upgrading to a new decal. I understand about the crease and agree it would probably be more trouble than it's worth.

    Is it possible to wrap the scoop with the same vinyl? It would be great to have the same color/texture as the hood decal. The Plasti-Dip is a slightly different color. It is minor but the perfectionist in me would like them to match.

    I would consider doing the next batch with a modification to the inside line to follow the body crease. I actually agree with you that it would look good. There would still be about 1/2" of white showing though. As for wrapping the scoop in the same material....it would work.

    I am definitely interested in the modified hood decal and scoop wrap. Please let me know if and when you have new decals available (I'll gladly help you test fit if you need)

    No problem. I can Test it on my truck. As for the scoop wrap I can trace the scoop and cut it on the cnc. But heat and possible trimming will be necessary but shouldn't be too difficult. I'll let you know when I do the next batch. Just need some preorders

    Definitely. I want the new design. Let me know when you are taking orders. (I would love to see a photo of the new decals that follow the body crease.)

    Also, if you have enough spare vinyl for a piece to wrap a scoop I would take it.

    Yes they are on eBay. They have been all along. If you go ahead and buy through eBay, to get in on the preorder. I will be making another batch on Monday.

    The new batch will all have that slight modification. And I will be offering a precut piece for the hood scoop. But low heat will most likely be needed for the scoop to follow the contours of the scoop. We have discussed this. Just letting anyone else out there know.
