Thanks. The emblems serve a dual purpose. When the engine covers came, there was an obvious bump or "nipple" on each one. So the 427 covers that up nicely. The bump is right under the tip of the 7. I opted for the all chrome ones instead of the red since I'm planning on doing the rest of the engine in chrome with a tiny bit of carbon fiber.

Great Pics, and your car looks so clean, did you clean it every time you stopped?
Love the NRB and Chrome Wheels!

It's really not all that clean. Cameras don't pick up dust that easily.

I did the same with mine. I like it and people seem to notice. Got to let the folks behind you know what they're dealing with
