About Us

TVD Vinyl Decals is a family-owned business with the simple goal of making decals using the highest quality automotive vinyl film available.

We introduced our Tacoma tailgate decals in November 2015, the first tailgate decals on the market for the 3rd gen Tacoma. Since then we have grown our product line to include emblem letter decals, interior blackout kits, and more for many vehicle makes and models. We continue to expand our product line with new decals. All of our decals are precision cut in the U.S.A. using professional equipment.

At the outset we recognized that our vinyl decals might be challenging for some to apply. Therefore it was very important for us to provide a comprehensive support page including instructions and videos to assist our customers. Our exceptional customer service stems from over 25 years of experience in the corporate help desk and customer support field.

Please give us the opportunity to be your decal source. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you have nothing to lose!

Thanks for visiting!
