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.
Yes. I traded a Rebel for my RHO, and I agree the Rebel bed decals were so gaudy. I hated them. Didn't order on the RHO because I ordered black, and didn't think they would make much of a difference. Ended up ordering from Apex because I think the hood decal looks really nice!!
 
On forged blue would the decals pop pretty good too?
 
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!
It's pretty easy to get out the bubbles except where the paper overlaps you can't see if you have any. That's where i had issues.

It's suttle but looks great. Gives it a little more sport look not that it doesn't already look like a beast!
 
For those of you who already had the Apex hood decal installed, I need your opinion. I just opened the cylinder container my Apex Hood Decal came in, and I noticed that a couple of the edges look crumpled/wrinkled. I laid it out, and its mostly fine, but two of the top edges are definitely crumpled up.
I’m supposed to get it installed on Monday after my PPF is done . Should I be worried about this? Will it smooth out during installation, or is this something I need to bring up with the seller? Let me know what you think. Appreciate the help!

I ordered them, they arrived this week and I noticed the exact same thing. Mine aren’t getting installed for a couple of weeks, but I was wondering the same thing as you, Señor.

Have you tried contacting Apex support? I am a bit worried since I’ve emailed a few times within the last two weeks and no response yet. I again reached out yesterday afternoon when I found out about this issue, still nothing.

What a bummer. I have PPF/ceramic coating/tint appointment tomorrow and now I’m in limbo since I need the hood decal before ceramic coating.

I further checked a corner myself and I’m convinced this won’t look 100% good after install

having ordered from Apex, the material is not as stretchy as regular vinyl. Its good quality, just doesnt have give. I'm not sure if a heat gun can fix those wrinkles after being applied to the truck.

I haven't tried. I was going to reach out to my installer first to see if this is normal for decals. I assume these things get banged around in shipping a lot.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll check in with my installer later and get his two cents on the matter. Shoot if a heat gun can fix the wrinkles as much as possible, I might just go for it.

Do you have instagram? I sent them a dm Friday and they got back to me Saturday, maybe you can try that? It about one message every other day so it’s tough to get answers but in your situation should work!!

Oh man. I just saw this pic. I agree that’s not acceptable. If you go on their Etsy store, they’re not selling the hood decal any more. Only the bed graphics. I’ll check mine closer later today and see if the damage is like yours.
I’d certainly reach out to them and ask for a refund or replacement.

Yeah it a heat gun can cure it, then no biggie.

That looks torn. Don't know if the installer can work with that. But at this point, they're getting installed tomorrow, so just bring it and ask them what they think. Then follow up with Apex. I'll check mine today and see if they're just creased or if they're torn.
