Classic Racing Heritage. Modern Precision.

We are stoked to bring our first full stripe kit to the 4Runner market! This Checkered Stripe Kit is the ultimate way to differentiate your rig from the rest of the pack. Designed with a racing-inspired aesthetic that flows with the body lines of both the 3rd and 4th Gen 4Runners, these stripes are finished in a premium Satin to ensure they pop against your factory paint without the harsh reflections of standard gloss vinyl.

• Pre-Masked for Alignment: Every piece in the kit comes with transfer tape pre-applied to keep the checkered pattern perfectly aligned during install.

• Color Schemes: Available in multiple eye-catching palettes to suit your specific build theme.

 🛠 Installation Guide:

⚠️ 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.

  • Use a felt-tip squeegee for even pressure and to avoid scuffing the satin finish.

  • Pro Install Recommended: While these are designed to be user-friendly, large-format vinyl can be tricky. If you aren't comfortable with the process, any local vinyl shop can install this kit for you.

  • Watch the Process: Check out our Hood Stamp install video on YouTube to see our vinyl technology in action!
