Great tip and it looks awesome.
Just need a Corvette Emblem now. Watch out guys the emblems will be disappearing from the hood if this catches on.

Thanks for the tip. Just got back from Walmart and bought one of those mirror sheets ($6). Used some tracing paper to outline the shape and cut it out. Very simple and looks pretty good.
