Custom Ford Mustang Stripe Kit | Muscle Car Graphics in McHenry County
There's a reason racing stripes and Mustangs have always belonged together. They're bold. They're unmistakable. And they instantly give a muscle car a little more attitude.

When this Ford Mustang owner came to Amped Up Graphics, they wanted to preserve that classic muscle-car styling while adding just enough customization to make the finished look their own.

Custom Zelda Jeep Hood Wrap | Personalized Vehicle Graphics in McHenry County

And this wasn't going to be just a logo or a small character decal. She wanted a piece of art. From Hyrule to the Hood The client came to us with a specific vision: a v


Custom Harley-Davidson Pinstriping | Hand-Laid Vinyl Motorcycle Graphics in McHenry County
Not every custom motorcycle needs a dramatic transformation. Sometimes, it's the smallest details that completely change the way a bike looks. For this Harley-Davidson, our client wanted something subtle, refined, and completely custom.

Fleet Decal Replacement for AMB Roofing | Commercial Vehicle Graphics in McHenry County
Your work trucks say a lot about your business. The question is... what are they saying? For AMB Roofing, the truck was still doing its job—but the graphics had started showing their age. Years of sun exposure, weather, and everyday use had taken a toll on the original decals, making the vehicle look worn long before the truck itself was ready to retire. Instead of replacing the truck, they chose to refresh what customers see first. The result was a clean, professional update


Custom Window Perforation for Wellness4USA | Storefront Window Graphics in McHenry County
The best signage doesn’t just make your business look better. It solves problems. When Wellness4USA came to Amped Up Graphics, they weren’t simply looking for new storefront graphics. Their building had an abundance of natural light, creating excessive heat and glare throughout the space. Normally, interior window film would be an option—but because the windows were already tinted, that solution wasn’t practical. Instead of forcing a standard approach, we found one that worke


Custom Fleet Lettering for Albert Wagner & Son | Commercial Truck Graphics in McHenry County
Adding a new truck to your fleet should strengthen your brand—not make it look inconsistent. When Albert Wagner & Son purchased a new truck, they didn’t need a new design. They needed it to look like it had always been part of the fleet. That meant matching the existing lettering, layout, spacing, and overall appearance with complete accuracy so customers would never know the truck had been added later. Sometimes, the best design work is the kind nobody notices. Consistency B


Color Shift Trailer Wrap for Bistro Italiano | Custom Trailer Wraps in McHenry County
When you’re serving great food, the last thing you want is for customers to walk right past your trailer. That was the challenge Bistro Italiano brought to Amped Up Graphics.

It was to make the t


Custom Frosted Glass Window Graphics for Atlas Integrated Health | Office Branding in McHenry County

Custom Motorcycle Tank Graphics | Vaquero Tank Decal Design in McHenry County
Some custom projects begin with a finished design. Others begin with a single idea and evolve into something far more creative. When the owner of this Vaquero motorcycle came to Amped Up Graphics, the original request was straightforward: incorporate a custom logo onto the fuel tank. But rather than placing the logo by itself, we saw an opportunity to create something that looked intentionally designed for the motorcycle instead of simply applied to it. The finished piece bec


Custom Navy-Themed Jeep Wrap | Personalized Jeep Graphics & Window Perforation in McHenry County
The best custom vehicle wraps don’t start with a template. They start with a story. When the owner of this Jeep came to Amped Up Graphics, they didn’t arrive with stock artwork or a design pulled from the internet. Instead, they brought something far more meaningful—photographs they had personally captured during a missile launch and a custom Navy logo they wanted incorporated into the build.

Custom Towing Truck Graphics for Olson Auto Body | Fleet Branding in McHenry County

Custom Dump Truck Graphics for G n Company | Precision Vehicle Branding in McHenry County
