Patriot Graphics Kit

Having decided to customize my truck with a patriotic theme, I realized the most powerful one thing I could do was to have a Graphics Kit installed. A Graphics Kit commonly refers to two or more large decals. Typically it might be two copies of each image except that one copy is the mirror image of the other so that they appear to go in the same direction when placed on opposite sides of the vehicle.

On one occasion, I had seen a commercial truck in our area with an eagle seemingly tearing away at the skin of the vehicle exposing the colors of Ol' Glory. The image was so impactful that I spent a great deal of time on the Internet attempting to find it. I finally located a Web Site called SpeedGraphics.net and contacted Mr. Michael Dickman who told me that "yes" they had a Graphics Kit such as the one I

described. He said they had just unveiled it at the most recent SEMA expo, and it was so new they had not yet been able to update their Web Site with it.

SpeedGraphics.net is very good at offering information as to how to properly install a Graphics Kit, but the reality is that it is a daunting task for a novice. The graphics are expensive (this one was $188.95 including shipping) and it is very easy to not line up properly, or otherwise install it with huge bubbles or tearing. After embarking on yet another long and drawn out Internet quest, I finally discovered the type of company to ask install a Graphics Kit is the same one that wraps buses or labels taxi cabs. I found one such firm called Sign-O-Saurus in Caseselberry, Florida. They installed the Patriot Graphics Kit that I purchased online from SpeedGraphics.net in about three hours. The installation cost was $255.

The final result was outstanding.

Sign-O-Saurus did an excellent job recommending placement and installing the graphics on both sides of the truck with perfection.
