Default C4 Hood decal

Anyone have an opinion of the long LT1 decal for the hood humps? I never gave it much tought and I saw them on a Ruby '93 at a car show yesterday. Thought it might make a nice accent to an all black body.

I just ordered a hood graphic from here:

http://www.autotrimdesign.net/items_9552.html

I'm getting this one in gold fade. My Vette is Charcoal with added gold metallic so I'm thinking it might blend in well. If it does I'll add the fender louver trim next.

I'm diggin all those, but I wish I could find one with just the LT1, and no Chevy bowtie symbol. It seems a little redundant. Anyone seen a variation of that?

You could goto a graphics shop (ricer shop) and have them measure and cut one. Shouldn't cost too much... they usually charge by amount of material used if the design is simple enough. if you went this route, you can have whatever you want put on there

JnC96CE - I am totally digging that look now...I never did before.

A white C5 parked next to my white 89 at work the other day. They had the LS1 hood decal on... and I REALLY liked the look of it.

I have gotten a lot of complements on the black ones that have the Corvette script on my red Corvette. A nice simple accent that seems to set off the front of the car. They were not at all very hard to put on.

Has anyone had problems with the stickers peeling after a few years and many car washes? I was wondering how they held up on a daily driver. Post pics if you have them on a polo. (hood or fenders)


Thanks
