I don't know of anyone else duplicating the color or print patterns that were in most factory stripes. As far as I know they are just cutting out the shapes in solid colors. I could do that dirt-cheap. We spend between 10-15 hours scanning, programming and doing testing on each kit we make. And it had to be done with a full original kit. This was only possible since I’ve been in the stripe business since 1980 and I’ve actually had and installed every one of these kits. Toyota had 8 models a year including the 4Runner and I have over 12 years of them programmed. Besides most sign shops use an intermediate vinyl. They say it's high performance, but most sign shops don't even know what Automotive Grade High Performance Vinyl is. It has extra chemical and UV protection specifically for automotive use. More power to anyone else that wants to make these, but I doubt they will go to such lengths to make them as accurate or as good.

I'm not dissing your work, i was just saying someone in Medicine Hat does amazing quality work. and i know him personally, he is a car nut, and he does do inspections and he does do the same process as you. he is a great person and does great work. i'm know you do from all this great feed back. he put the word sign in his company name because it is becoming a huge business due to all oil field companies needing signs. But he does more vehicle decals both personal and company. and he does signs too. No disrespect

No offense taken. There are plenty of places out there that do good work.

Yes, remove backing, rub decal down from one side to the other and then remove the top pre-mask tape. If there are any bubbles you should be able to rub them out.

I've never seen that 1 ton logo on anything outside of 1st gen pick-ups and you have it listed through 95. Hmm, were they only available in certain areas/countries (I mean canada)?

The US Toyota catalog lists them thru 92, but I've had request thru 95 so that's how I listed it.
