Engine dress up

I need to find a better decal for my engine. I ordered one of those sticky decals , but screwed it up because it was a pain in the .... to put on. Looking at something easier to put on. The decals I was looking for was for the 5.7 and the stripes on the engine.

TIP o' the day
.
whenever I apply decals I saturate area first with water. The water will dry & not affect the stickability of the decal.
This will let you move the decal around slightly, then remove all air bubbles.

These decals are so over priced. Everywhere you look, it's like a mortgage payment. It probably cost a tenth of the selling price to print them.
