I just got the hood graphics installed. It looks great. The instructions state to use one drop of dawn but don't spec the amount of water. I had about 20 oz of water. It really needed about 3 drops to stop sticking and slide. Spray a ton on the hood and sticker and it slides fine. I have a few small bubbles. The instructions say to use a heat gun on bubbles but it didn't seem to do much. They seem be drying out and disappearing as the hours go by. A hell of a lot cheaper than ordering it for $895. Now I'm ready for ceramic coating next week.

BTW you can use the code RHO10 to save 10%.

Looks great! Mine arrived yesterday and will install it in the next couple days. Do you squeegee the bubble out with the transfer tape still on? That's what's written on the instruction and I was wondering how can I know if all bubbles are out with the tape still on. Thanks!

My bedside decals came like this. I emailed and was told to remove the middle section of the O. The website shows the middle section of the O filled in. Radio silence when asked abt what I saw on the site. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Does the R middle come out as well? I'm wanting to see if it was suppose to match.

How does the texture and thickness of the hood decal match the small factory decal in front of the hood scoop? I know that they send the small hood scoop decal also, but if they're very similar, no need to remove and replace. Thanks!

I think yours look better than what is displayed on the website. I like the 'O' unfilled.

Yeah it’s not bad, just surprised. Also, when trying to install, don’t follow the body line, it ends up crooked. We had to measure many times to make sure it’s right from all angles with the curve of the body and when you look dead straight at it.

Mine is due from Apex on Monday, good advice. trying to look at a ton of pics to get as many reference points as I can. Did you measure down from the bed cap or ??
 
I just checked their store on Etsy, and interestingly enough, it says that their shop is “taking a short break” and you can’t order products.

I did sir. Measure 6.5” From the bed cap on the tail end and 7” on the head end. The curve of the rear fender really plays tricks on your eyes. You have to look at it from all angles.

That perfect, thank you.

Oh snap.
 
Might be in the minority but I'm glad I just ordered mine with decals. I know it's a rip but when it finally comes in it will be already done. Just got to schedule status... can't wait to rip around with this thing. Gonna miss my v8 hemi but the new tech and look I'll forget very fast!

Don’t blame you. I ordered the hood decal through factory but decided against the bedside. Once the truck arrived, the truck was “missing” something. I had to order them for $70.

Usually I'm not a decal guy but I really liked the hood and Bed decals on the rho! Last year before even knowing about the rho I was looking at Rebels but hated those bed decals yuck. Glad I didn't buy one of those and found the RHO.
