Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on our factory OEM grade decals:
Q: Are
these the same decals that I would get at the dealer? (OE - original
equipment)
A: Sort of. Our decals are manufactured with the same
equipment and processes that the factory decals are, but we can not
advertise them as original equipment because we are not a supplier
to Ford and our decals are not installed on the trucks at the
factory. We hold a license from Ford Motor Company as a licensed
aftermarket manufacturer of graphics and decals using their exact
designs that they send to us. The same ones used to make the factory
graphics.
Q: Why
is there a clear rectangle around the graphic? Shouldn't the letters
all be cut out?
A: If you look close on all the Ford trucks, you'll see that
all of their bed side graphics are printed on a clear overcoat of
vinyl and then installed. The picture above shows the FX4 decal with
the clear surround. Best seen along the top and the edge along the
"X" and the end of the "4". Upon installation, the clear vinyl will
be very noticeable for about 24-48 hours. After that it will be
practically invisible, like on the factory trucks.
Q: Will
the color of my truck show through the middle areas of the letters?
A: Yes. The middle of the OFF ROAD letters as well as the
middle of the "4" is also clear, as is the area inside the "FX". If
you look at the image at the top, imagine that being on a white
truck - so the white areas show through the clear vinyl.
Q: The
decals I get from the dealer have the installation "marks" on them.
Do these?
A: No. Our decals are made to fit every F-series truck (F150
and Super Duty) from 2012-2014 - since the installation points are
different on all of those, we are unable to make the install point
marks. We do include installation instructions, as well as a link to
our web site that gives even more detailed installation help.
Q: Why
do these cost more than your other FX4 decals?
A: Our other decals are "standard" quality. While they are
really really good - at their respective price points - they are not
factory quality. The decals in this listing are for potential
customers that are looking for the highest quality product, but also
at a fair price. The dealer charges around $75 a piece (one for each
side), which isn't an awful price, but why pay all those middle-men
when you can buy direct from us at a great price?
Q:
Since they cost more, I'm assuming they're better - right?
A: YES! The biggest advantage to our OEM factory quality
decals is their durability. Print wise it's the same quality found
on our standard grade decals, but it's the automotive laminate
process (the clear overcoat) that makes them virtually bullet-proof.
You can run them through an automatic car wash over and over again
and they won't fade or take the color out, sit in the sun forever
and won't get discolored. If they get scratched it will only effect
the top automotive laminate coat, not the printed area underneath.
Q: Is
there a higher quality that you can do?
A: No. The decals in this listing are our absolute best
quality product. In terms of print quality and durability it doesn't
get any better than this - no matter where you get them.
Q: I
love this style, but have you got other color choices available?
A: We sure do! If you look through our other listings any of
the FX4 color options are available. If we haven't got them posted
on ebay yet, send us an email and we can get a listing set up for
that particular one.
Q: This
is for a pair of decals - correct? So Qty 1 = 2 decals?
A: Yes.
If there's anything we've forgotten, please feel free to send us a
quick note and we'll respond to you as quick as we can!

Why
is an "Official License Product" important to you?
Official License Products are made with the best material and
they are made with the exact same fonts,
images, and logos that Ford uses when creating their products. From
web pages to the cars themselves - the high quality
image files and fonts are used throughout so you're 100% SURE to get
the correct look to your ride! Don't take a chance on products that
aren't licensed! Not only are they illegal, but also the logo and
lettering won't be exact and won't match the rest of your ride.
