Default How about a little Jake under the hood

Had my decal guy make me some Jake decals to dress up the underside of the new Carbon hood.

Looks good! I'm having Jake airbrushed under my hood after I have it painted and cleared. It's a well-known fact that having Jake under the hood adds 100 RWHP.

I’m sure that’s going to look great! I had a flaming fire chicken airbrushed under the hood of my WS6 TA which drew lots of attention. Once I get to drive the car again I’m sure I’ll feel the butt dyno improvement of adding Jake.

That Jake stuff is all good. Mascot of the Corvette racing team.

Just don’t put a Z-51 emblem on your car. That’s Sacrilege.
