Hood, cab and endgate decals

I was looking for decals for my truck to put on the hood, side of cab, and endgate. But it's hard to get them with the same style/theme. My truck is all black and needs something to break it up, here is a few I found so far that are close to the same style, what do you think? Or who knows of a website that sells a package for hood, cab, and endgate?

First picture is one for front of hood, the rest I have to post separate

Re: Hood, cab and endgate decals

The last one would be for tailgate and it's 36 inches wide by 6 high, the styles are close but vary a bit. So other than getting some painted on that would have exaculty the same style, do these look close or is there a website that offers a package like this for trucks?

Re: Hood, cab and endgate decals

I like the one for the hood, the one for the cab side I'm not sure of, and the last one looks like ex-gf's lower back tattoo. I guess that one would be just right for the tailgate

Re: Hood, cab and endgate decals

If you could match the look of the hood decal to the others, I think you'd be in business. I'm not sure where you could find them, though.

I like the hood one also, it's just to find all three with the same style, the cab and tailgate are the only ones that are close but I don't really like the style either.

Re: Hood, cab and endgate decals

Maybe you can chop up the hood decal a bit; stretch and tweek it to make it work for the other locations. Maybe I'll get my laptop and give it a try.

Re: Hood, cab and endgate decals

I see what you mean, cut up hood decal to smaller size and install on cab and endgate, I'd like to see what you come up with.

Re: Hood, cab and endgate decals

Step away from the decal rack and find yourself an artist. Pinstripers do the rel thing and it doesn't cost all that much. Go for quality in what you do to improve your truck and make it unique. Yu could pull up next to a '98 Corolla and it might have the same decals

X2. Pinstripes show up to crashes all the time. The prices are normally cheaper than you think.

Re: Hood, cab and endgate decals

It's your truck, but you know my opinion. My buddy just pinstriped a guy's golf cart for 80 bucks. If they're good, they can turn it out in no time. There must be someone somewhere. I'm a do it right or do nothing kind of guy

Re: Hood, cab and endgate decals

Yeah, I know it's another world in Saskatchewan than the Mid-Atlantic US. Here they aren't everywhere, but I know of plenty. Too bad you can't send the parts out, ay? But ask around, you might just find someone

Re: Hood, cab and endgate decals

On the other side of opinions here vinyl graphics do have their positives. You can put them on and if you decide it's just not the look you wanted you can remove them easy enough whereas painted on designs or stripes are more permanent. depends on the individual i guess.

We have pinstripers around here that will show up at car shows and do work. So if there are any car show up your way, check to see if a pinstriper shows up. Usually they will offer a "show special" for a decent price to have the work done while you get to watch. Pretty cool...

Re: Hood, cab and endgate decals

Not sure where about's in Sask you are located, but my dad just had his bike painted and pinstriped by the guy, and he does nice work. Might be worth a call at the least
