If I'm going to go a different route than OEM vinyl on my $50k+ truck. Def don't make a cheaper COPY. Cheaper meaning cheaper ($60>$1000). Letters are WAY too big for my liking, almost seems like your showing off the "RAPTOR SVT" driving down the street rather than the truck. As it is I don't care for the stereotyping that goes along with raptors but thats my opinion.
Don't let my term "cheap" fool you, I retrofitted my lights and that was cheap but I love em along with many others here. cheaper is better sometimes.

Anybody with photoshop want to throw out other ideas? I'm all ears! This is my first experience with decals, my final decision will be painted on.

Thanks for your input Reptar. Why is it when someone finds a good deal its seen as cheaping out, it's 3m vinyl and good for 7yrs the guy said. I don't see that as cheap quality! As for it being plain I agree to a point, I would like the tears that are in the Raptor badge but it was his first time with this decal and he's working on more variations right now.

You asked what we thought, so just gave my 2 cents. Not saying the quality isn't good, can't tell that from the photo. Just saying they look "cheap" to me. They don't look like $1k OEM decals with the 2 shades of black, and tears in the letters to match the emblems, etc. They look like exactly what you paid for them, $60 decals, since there wasn't much attention to detail to make it match the factory Raptor font. It looks like times new roman in font size 400 printed out lol. Not trying to be an *** about it, just giving my opinion like asked lol.

Reptar I didn't mean to come off as an ass either. I do value all the comments I'm getting, the final plan is to have it painted on. I want to get all the kinks I guess worked out. The next decal will have more detail and possibly two toned.

Just go smaller and they need to mirror each other. Meaning the SVT needs to below RAPTOR & needs to be at end or beginning on both sides. (that's the military training coming out of me)

Haha, josh! And this is who I learned from to throw my **** opinions out via forums when asked, All honest opinions surely. I doubt you would rather hear it here from us than say, this fine lady walking across the street, ect....... don't be fooled by the "3M brand" bc 3m also does IN HOME VINYL DECOR. Many different uses 3m makes by the way.

Like I said I value all comments. I want to make sure it's right before I paint it.

I was thinking the same thing Blind. I'm going to be getting photoshop and I'll start playing with the graphic some more.
