🚚 Free Shipping: A high-impact functional upgrade delivered to your door with zero shipping costs.
Premium Satin Finish: Our signature Satin finish absorbs harsh sunlight to reduce eye strain while providing a high-contrast, aggressive look.
Air-Release Technology: Crafted with high-end air-release vinyl, allowing you to easily smooth out small bubbles during installation for a professional result.
Industry-Leading Materials: We use only the best—Avery Dennison or 3M vinyl—ensuring your decal stands up to UV rays and trail abuse for years to come.
Legacy Fit: Specifically designed to complement the unique "Short Scoop" and "Long Fang" hood contours of the legendary 3rd Gen 4Runner.
Full Overlay Kit: Precision-cut sections tailored for the 1996–2002 4Runner hood.
Professional Grade Vinyl: High-quality 3M or Avery Dennison material designed for long-term exterior durability.
⚠️ Critical Temperature Requirement: For a successful bond, the ideal installation temperature is between 65°F and 73°F. Attempting to install in temperatures any warmer or colder may prevent the vinyl from adhering correctly, which will ruin the decal.
Dry Install Only: Do not use water or "wet" application methods. These professional-grade materials are designed for dry application only.
Surface Prep: This is the most important step! Clean the hood thoroughly with a heavy-duty degreaser followed by Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) to ensure 100% adhesion. The surface must be completely stripped of all wax and ceramic coatings.
Pro Tips:
Visually inspect all vinyl pieces for any issues before you begin.
