Default Under Hood Art / Decals

Sitting at the car show today...looking at a blank black underside of my hood....I'm thinking about having either a nice decal put under the hood of my 80 or having some art painted... Don't like the idea of giving someone my hood to paint on so I would prefer a tasteful decal if possible.

Does anyone know where to purchase anything like this? I looked on Ecklers but didn't find anything.

Would also like to see any work anyone has done to the underside hood of their Vettes.

Thanks... Ed

This older guy around here had a '70 coupe. It looked like it was customized in the mid to late 70s. It had a heavy flake green lacquer job, 70's vette factory aluminum wheels, and flares, ground effects, and front spoiler. He had artwork under the hood too. It looked like a pro airbrush job. It said "The love machine". It's even funnier if you know this guy.

The stickers I had made here, there are many shops that make custom stickers. I can have them made-up but I don't know how to ship these to individuals. If someone wants to buy a bunch let me know I can make them up and ship to someone. That person in the US can sell them to anyone they want. I can also make custom hats.

With as much heat that our cars produce under the hood, how would these decals hold up ? I would think they would shrivel up in a day.
