Default Rear Deck Lid (Help)

I am in the process of building a rear deck lid cover. I am thinking of having the following monogramed onto the center section.

The Red Rocket
Conceived 10/23/00
Looks best at 180 mph

We have decided on a Brush Script font. If someone can help me come up with something different please post.

Red Rocket?

Do you watch SouthPark?

As for other ideas:

"conceived" is sort of strange to apply to a car. How about "Born On" instead?

"Looks best at 180 mph" is sort of lame IMO.

How about your initials?

A famous quote from someone you admire?

Or just a simple horizontal red stripe to break it up a bit.

I would leave it without anything added.

Put yourself in an LEO position....can you picture something like this happening?

Distracted, you are traveling alone at 74 mph in a 65 ( 9mph over the limit), a rookie LEO comes a calling........do you really want him to ask for registration and insurance for "The Red Rocket" ?
Just trying to help

Let me say that this is not going to be visable unless the trunk lid is open. It's not something that would be visable while driving down the road.

I would have to agree with TrazeZ
I like your Idea but don't have any suggestions for you

At shows the trunk lid will be open so when when people view the trunk there will be something there, other than a plain trunk.

It's why I don't get a tattoo..... no matter what brilliantly clever words I conceive, at some point in the future I'll hate it.

Well, it's probably better than, "Cops suck"!

But not much.

I stayed pretty conservative and just embroidered a custom C5 logo on my Cargo Shade...

Now that's nice, Choreo.

Perhaps OP could adopt a similar idea and add year, engine stats, hometown, etc.

Thanks. To solve the problem of how the embroidery would look through the back window with the hatch closed, I had a second Cargo Screen embroidered upside down and installed both together (back to back). Worked great.

I had everything done to match my existing logo custom color theme...
