Default New emblems/hoodliner/pedal mods (pics)

Started off by painting my hoodliner last week. I don't have an artistic bone in my body, but was quite easy with Pipedreams direction. Next came the new LS2 emblems. I wanted something a little subdued with my Machine Silver paint and these fit the bill perfect. Last came my new gas/dead pedal from Jeff at Elite. I think they look great (presiding over a set of Lloyd's of course). Next week comes the 4 piece engine dress up kit from Ken at the Vetteshop. I'll be sure to post again when that kit is in place.

Nice job all around, The liner came out great Looks very professional and IMO 10x's better that sticker that a few a hyping. The sticker does not even match the embossed outline of the emblem and finally one member who installed it agreed. My procedure to paint is in the FAQ's.

Thanks. I used the 1/2 oz. Testor's enamel from a local hobby shop. Gloss black, white, gold, silver, guards red and insignia red. Finished it off with a high temp poly coat for added insurance.

And in my opinion the decal looks just as good. To each his own!!!

Nice Job on the hood liner. I'll probably give it a shot over the winter. I also like your new pedals. I've had mine for over a week now, I just haven't had time to get to the car. After seeing yours I think I'll be a bit more motivated.

EXCELLENT!!!!! does the LS2 emblem come in yellow? it would be great to get something else on the car with some yellow in it to justify going with yellow calipers.

great job, by the way
