TRX Graphics

Oracal 651 is what most people use (including myself), it is rated for 6 years outdoors so it will look good for a long time
Ok I was able to get bedside decal measurements from a friend, so I can make new ones that match the factory ones and also include the T-Rex logo next to the letters. Problem is, the left side decal goes right up to the taillight:
So there won't be much room for the T-Rex head unless I:
A. Make the decal anyway and you just install them further towards the front of the truck
B. Put the head below the "X"
C. Put the head before "TRX"
D. (insert your own option here).
Let me know what you guys would prefer. It will cost about $50 for the pair of bedside decals with high quality vinyl, shipped. Hope that sounds fair, as they are relatively large decals and will have to be shipped in a tube. Much better than the $1400 Ram charges...
If there is enough interest I will add them to our web store for easier checkout.
I actually dont want the TRex head on the decals, just the “TRX” so problem solved there. What quality material are you using? And yes, your pricing is very fair..Factory prices for the graphics are insane....
I use Oracal 651 vinyl or equivalent from GT if I'm unable to get certain colors in Oracal. Both are great quality and I've been using them on my own vehicles for years. Let me add an item for the TRX bedsides on our site to make it easier for checkout. I will post here when it has been added. FYI - I am out of town this week but will be back Monday, so I won't be able to cut and mail the vinyl immediately - it will be a few days, hope that's OK?
No, unfortunately it is a strange shape and would be hard to measure without having one in person...but if anyone wants just the TRX logo for their hood I can make one that would fit there...
Ok just added the bedside decals to the site, here is the link: https://catchmeoffroad.com/product/ram-trx-bedside-decals/
FYI I am out of town visiting my parents this week but will be back on Monday so the decals won't ship out for a few days, just keeping everyone informed...
Thanks
Hi, I have worked with metallic (reflective) vinyl before, even made a bunch of decals for my Raptor with it, and honestly it is a HUGE pain to remove. The substrate is made of thin foil-like metal, and when you try to remove it, it just tears off in tiny pieces. If you really want reflective graphics I can check vinyl pricing for the size you would need and send you a quote, but from my experience it is not worth the trouble (even though it does look very cool).
Send me a PM if you're still interested.

Oracal 651 is a medium term calendered vinyl that over time can shrink a very tiny bit (mm's) over time (a few years), especially in more extreme climates and if out in the sun more often then not. If you have access to Oracal 751 or 951 those would be cast vinyl with better conformability. Just trying to help. Source: I run a sign business part time to pay for my racing habit.
ORACAL has a good (651), better (751), best (951) program with their vinyl but there is a cost to that. I've used a ton of 651 on business signs and "window stickers" because it looks great and is cheap. 651 is slightly thicker than 751 and 951 and does not conform to curves as well because it is calendered (doesn't stretch) compared to 751/951 that is cast (stretchy). I hesitated to even comment on this post because I don't want to offend @CatchMeOffroad but maybe if he could offer a better quality vinyl for more $ everyone might be better off. I personally would not stick Oracal 651 to my TRX. Window stickers for sure!
@CatchMeOffroad is probably fine using whatever type of vinyl we want. Just a matter of getting it in stock and passing on the additional cost. I’d also prefer to pay more for better quality.
