Hood Graphics Idea

[TremorPNW]

I've owned 4 Trans Am's in my life... 1973, 1977, 1994 and 2002. The '94 I had the longest. It was a 25th Anniversary car that I sold 4 years ago with 30K miles on it.

I had a 75,77, and 78 when I was a teenager. Ruined all 3 of them.

You sure that's the same truck?! ?

Tell me about it...

When doing something like this, do you apply wet or dry? Might be a dumb question, but I’m thinking of doing my upper tailgate and would rather not waste money paying for it, and/or messing up doing it myself. Lol

I really like the hood, btw.

I've never done any of my vinyl work "wet". Lay it on and use heat as needed to stretch and smooth it out.

Also, knifeless tape is a must.

Tracks, of course...

I absolutely love this idea. Would love to get the actual tracks that match my ko2s

Mine's a generic pattern you can find on Ebay but having a custom one made would be easy...just drive over a large sheet of pattern paper and make a small block to repeat...

I've been considering adding a stripe to the hood of my Ranger. I came across this Mach 1 image:

Since my Ranger is a Splash edition in Cactus Grey, the black with the orange stripe is perfect. I also like the matte black with the gloss black outline.

Anyone know of a shop that can make one-off graphics? I might have to photoshop (Gimp) it onto my truck to see how it looks.

Oh man, if you find someone that could do this please post. That is the same stripe I would love to have also. Thanks

Any custom graphics company that does vehicle graphics can custom make anything you want.
This is a pic of my previous Ranger. The gray inserts were vinyl, done by a local company that made graphics for our local police/sheriffs vehicles, fire rescue vehicles, and local company truck logos.
The hood graphics you all are looking at would be a simple job for any graphics design company.
Kind of hard to see in second pic, but the hood has a vinyl insert also...followed the raised hood bubble.

Ah memories. I did these myself some 2 years ago.

I was thinking of the strip in the middle , but those look better , much better ...

cost is minimal.
I had company decals made for my truck and it only cost me $79 to have them made and installed at the same time they tinted my windows.
I did the same decals for the Focus and installed myself.

I was quoted $130 for the front windows and $200 for the tailgate!

I have one I got from Etsy. Looks great

What kind of bed rack is that?

You can check out Rocky Mountain Graphics, Vinyl Graphics Pro, Auto Graphics, and others...they all make hood/body/tailgate graphics for the Rangers

Many sign shops and shops that do vehicle wraps can as well. Come up with a design. I have done this many times. I send them the digital design, fonts, whatever....they produce it. Small stuff is easy to apply but large stripes....you may want to have them install it.

Which flares were you running on that version?

If it were me, I'd definitely do it with soapy water.

Maybe a DeeZee Tailgate assist stripe and some rebate/advertising $$$ from @AzScorpion
