Add 2012 Bedside graphics AFTER the fact?

[hosseface]

Ive ordered 2012 Bedside graphics from Tasca (surprisingly cheaper after the fact that if I would have ordered my truck with them) and I want to know if anyone else has added them on after they have had their truck and how hard are they to install?

I know I have ordered factory decals/emblems before that had like a "template"
built into the backing for exact locations. I didnt know if the Raptor graphics did or not.

Also - how hard is it to get a clean install? No wrinkles, bubbles, etc?

Thanks

Probably best to take them to a shop that specializes in applying graphics unless you're pretty skillled at it. That way you know it'll come out perfect.

usually a little soap and water will help with laying the graphics

check out BMC extreme customs in NJ- I had them duplicate the 2012 bed graphics and they came out great- 260 shipped. They have done a bunch. Much better than 900 from ford. They are easy to install

Are they duplicated exactly? Like texture and layering like the factory ones.

I too purchased the 2012 graphics (for my 2011).
IMO, they are too large for me to attempt installation. I could imagine it folding on itself, and making it worthless.

I had a professional install mine.
He applied them "wet" and had very few bubbles to contend with. He either pushed them out or cut them with a razor blade knife.

They are easy to clean.
I treat them with Aerospace 303 about ever two or three months after washing them with car wash soap.

I ordered the digital mud (2010-11 graphics) and had them installed on my 2012. They are a 5 piece decal and I had them professionally installed. Best way to go. They screwed one up installing it and bought the replacement.

Almost exact. They can do them in any colors you want.

Well they are installed and look fantastic!! I did opt to have them professionally installed and they turned out perfect. Let me say the pictures do not do these graphics justice. They look awesome - I love the lightning effects on them. No way any reproductions can look even close.
