Well the factory decal is clearly priced to increase the margin on the vehicle while permitting them to claim a lower MSRP. As far as I could tell, the price they chose is driven by the usual markup of vinyl from a local installer plus installation costs. Could they deliver a reasonable product at that price? Yes, but they would have to ship a lot of stuff and control the costs on the install kit. Have they? No idea. I can say that I doubt the pictures in the ad are of an actual application given that most trailhawks showed up with decals and they are pictures from dealer lots.

Alphavinyl does seem to move a lot of decals though, and you can read through their amazon web shop for reviews:

Hmm I'll add that I'm even more skeptical that the actual product is displayed. Looking at install pics form their amazon shop, they do washer nozzle fitment as cut outs and you get a slight gap. All the pics they have look like the factory piece which appears ot go under the washer nozzle.

If you remove the nozzles, apply the decal, cut the holes and reinstall the nozzles you will get the factory look -- this worked on my wrangler.

. . . the factory piece which appears to go under the washer nozzle.

Yes, the factory decal on my Trailhawk did indeed go under the washer nozzles.

I thought that I would have to remove the nozzles when I peeled off my decal, but it stretched around the nozzles and came right off.

Oh I know how you do it, it's just that their kits don't seem to do it that way, so I find the listing a bit questionable from that standpoint.

How does it handle the washer nozzles? cut outs, or do you have to remove and reinstall?
