Decal
I have to take my car in soon for a smog inspection here in Calif. I have recently added a Vararam and Power Duct to the car. I'd like to make the car look as stock as possible for the test. To that end, I have removed the Vararam decal from the Vararam itself, but can't remove the Vararam logo from the Power Duct. It appears to be laminated over and has no edges that I can find in order to peel it off. Anyway, I have been looking for a Corvette logo decal with a black background to place over it, but so far, I haven't been able to find one. Anyone know of a source for such a decal? Anyone removed the logo from their Power Duct? if so, how?
Thanks,
Phil

If you've still got the stock stuff, I'd just stick it on there until the test is done.
If you don't have your old stuff, you, might be able to borrow stock stuff from a CF buddy.

I'm in Cali too and just went through a smog check. I'm running a Halltech cold air intake. I use this time, every 2 years, to remove and service the filter. For the inspection I throw the stock system back on. After the test I reinstall my Halltech CAI and I'm good for 2 more years.
FYI......
This year I went to a cheapie test only station. It was in a rough part of town. The Vette was out of place compared to the rest of the cars there. The guy spent a LOT of time on the visual. Way more than I've ever seen. It was as if he thought I was trying to slip something through. When I've gone to the more main stream "expensive" stations it seems they hardly give it a look.
Good luck

I have the stock intake duct and can put it back for the test. That was my fall back option, but I was just hoping to hide the identity of the Vararam Power Duct. Not practical to remove the Vararam and put stock intake back, although I have all of the parts. Car is not a California car, if that matters. I bought it in kentucky when I lived there, but it has been in California for the last 8 years.
