That looks good, who did the work? Did you give them the decals or did they get them?

I got the hood decal from Rockymountain Graphics... but when I bought the other hood decal from Josh at Designs N Signs I had told him what I wanted to do around the lights. He said that it was impossible to pre-cut those areas due to the shapes and angles so he sent me a sheet of the 3M matte black film. I had Unique Auto Care in Stoneham install everything. Rick Nelson, the owner, has been a friend for years and is, without a doubt, the best detailer in the area (and then some!). He also installs clear bra, vinyl, tint, etc. Turns out what looks like a simple job really isn't, lol. He said all the cuts and angles that are required took forever... he's ridiculously ocd when it comes to this stuff and he said it took him 5 hours yesterday to finish (that wasn't including the hood decal that he had someone else do)! So, basically there are no decals... it's all custom cut.

that's the one. He used to be on North Ave in Wakefield.. he moved to the Stoneham location last year. Drive by any given day and the place will be filled w/ Ferraris, Lamborghinis, classic muscle cars, etc. He's rated as one of the top detailers in the country.

Ya I see that all the time when I drive by.

Does he still run the Wakefield location to?

I still see them working at the Wakefield location when I drive by and I just sent my friend there to get a hood decal installed on his Jeep.

I didn't think he still used the old location but i guess it's possible... Then again another detailer may have gone in there after him and just not changed the sign yet.

Ya I think it is someone else, I drove by last night and the sign now says "DENTECH plus" but the door and wall graphics are the same.

It looks like they do paintless dent removal plus detailing, graphics ect.

That looks really good around the lights. It's a shame the guy couldn't make/save a template for the cut-outs. I would've sent you my money ASAP if you had one!

That looks great (actually, the whole truck looks good!). We toyed with the idea of leaving just around the lights done but I figured if we did under the grille also and I didn't like it I could just take it off. So far, I'm happy I did the whole thing.
