The FJ Cruiser was born with a heritage-inspired soul, and our Checkered Stripe Kit is the ultimate way to lean into that classic racing aesthetic. Engineered specifically for the unique body lines of the 2007-2014 FJ, these stripes provide a bold, high-energy transformation that looks as good on the streets of Boise as it does on the trail. Finished in our signature Satin, this kit offers a premium, non-reflective look that is far superior to standard gloss decals.

🛠 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 protect the satin finish from scratches.

Pro Install Recommended: While we’ve made this kit as user-friendly as possible, large-format vinyl can be tricky. If you aren't comfortable with the process, any local vinyl shop can install this kit for you.
