New Hood Decal from Shanghaismith

[Mark Ducati]

For those interested... here are the decals on a SCREW:

It was raining when I got home... so I decided to install them tonight.

Maybe its just me being a dentist and paying attention to details to the n'th degree... but I think the hood decal is crooked ever so slightly.

The driver's side of the decal look like it is just 3-4 mm closer to the front bumper than the passenger side? What do you think? I don't think it looks that bad or is that noticeable, the only way you're really going to see the full representation of that hood decal is from above (I took the photo from a second story window), some of the big rigs might see it full on, but other SUV's and people walking by the truck in a parking lot... you can't tell.

FWIW, I used the wet method to install the decals... I followed the directions of adding 3-4 drops of soap to a quart of water. My recommendation would be to double that. The hood decal was the first one I applied, sprayed the hood and the sticky side of the decal and it still stuck a little to the hood even while repositioning.

I got a few air/water bubbles in the decals... got them out as best as I could. But after setting overnight, they all naturally disapated

These decals are awesome, when you look really close at the highlighted borders around the letters, they're shaded so as to give the decal a 3-D illusion.

Very similar to how they apply window tint. Mainly baby soap and water. Then squeeze out the water. You will get some small water bubbles but they come out after the layer of water under the sticker dries!

Looks good Mark.

I was looking at the dash area today and a small (1 - 2" tall) version of this decal would be cool for the silver area on the far right side above the glove box.

Just email Larry Smith at : [email protected]

He'll hook you up with the Raptor decals... I think for the hood and two side decals with shipping, it was about $130 bucks.

Looking for hood decal ideas. We have a blue flame as well and I'm loving this look
