Anyone put on a large hood decal graphics yet?

[broncgrl94]

I just took delivery today of my OB + OB Area 51 and love it. I already blacked out the Ford logo on the back and put on the vinyl letters on the back to cover the white. Pretty easy and I'm happy with how they came out. While shopping for them I fell in love with this hood decal:

I really want to order but am terrified of applying it myself. I'm pretty short and I don't want to spend the money to have it come out crooked or have bubbles. Anyone done one of these yet?

Another thing I considered was asking if the shop I'm going to get my windows tinted at would be willing to put it on if I paid a little extra.

Any feedback or experience would be greatly appreciated!

I think that would be the perfect idea to have them do it if they will. Since its pretty much already pre cut I am sure they wont charge a fortune and it would be worth the $$ to have it done right if you are worried about doing it on your own.

My wife wanted something subtle so we went with matt black flag on our dark blue BS. Something that size you definitely want to use a wet method to apply. I applied it myself but I’ve done large vinyl on Rv’s in the past so it wasn’t my first time.

I’m not familiar with the wet method. Would you be willing to elaborate for me?
