Stipe kits?

STRIPE KIT... argh

Anyone have experience with the graphics for the 4 runners? Who did you use? Was it quality vinyl? Any input will be helpful.

I was able to get just the hood decal for my pickup from James Dean Creations.
Great instructions and utube for help installing.
Color and texture a match to oem. Came sandwiched in heavy backer papers.
Looks like they will last for years.

James Dean $275
Phoenix graphics $140
Is it worth the extra $135 to get the James Dean decals?

I think most use 3M for the vinyl.

They weren't bad to do. I used a bunch of magnets to hold the decal in place on the vehicle. You WILL get some very small bubbles after you lay it down. The big ones you can squeege out, but not the small. But don't worry about it. Park it in the sun and in a few days the small bubbles will be gone.
