Default hood decal

I'm looking for a hood decal that really looks good. Does anyone have any pics of exterior hood decals.
thanks

I have had this one one for about 2 years now. I forgot where I got it, but I am sure it was from one of the vendors on the forum.

Love the big chrome buttons holding the liner on the hood. Where did you get them? Car looks great.

Lowe's in the plumbing department. They are nothing more then the plugs that go in the unused hoes in sinks. All you need to do is trim a little of the stock black button so it fits inside the chrome plug. I pulled one at a time trimmed it put it in the plug and reinstalled it. Probably took less then a half hour.

I just did the same thing to my car - does make the hoodliner retainer look much better.

As far as exterior decals, check with Mike at www.vettestripes.com.

Thanks for the mention. My logo is painted and I did it in ghost effect. It takes some good sun to be noticed. Otherwise just looks like stock.
