A couple of high-temp decals, normally designed for brake calipers but up-sized for my @ERIKZ06 -made supercharger lid, completed that upgrade.

Looking good! If I may ask. Where did you get those decals? I've been looking for something like those, but haven't had any results. Thanks.

Thanks for your kind words.

I found the seller on eBay. Communication is spotty and shipping is slow, but he delivered exactly what I requested (i.e., 6" version of the decals shown, in red & white rather than red & black). He seemed very willing to handle custom orders, and cost was only $5/pair, so I figured it was a worthwhile gamble. Good luck!

Looks great my friend. My black and red decals came in last week, but your white and red was a much better choice

Very nicely done. The stickers are great. I have not seen the fuse box label before. is that a custom piece also?

Thanks! Yes, that's a Build Plaque from Deadbrand Designs. Owner Chris Frech is easy to work with and able to customize the plaques as desired.

Thanks to @Mike@SolerEngr for a good deal and quick shipment of my Ported Throttle Body and Throttle Controller combo, which I installed on the C7Z earlier today. I wired the TC into the console and calibrated it, leaving it in Original Equipment mode until the ECM learns fuel trims for the new TB. A brief test drive before today's thunderstorms felt good, but I look forward to dialing it in...

Hey Norton. IIRC the early versions of that Build Plaque may not have been suitable for a hi temp environment. People were buying them for shows, and removing for normal car use. Is the one you have ok to leave on permanently?

As I mentioned, this was a replacement plaque due to a corrected build date I received. I "permanently" installed my previous one, that was in-place for somewhere between 1K and 2K miles logged in last summer's heat. It was still in pristine condition when I removed it. This one is also "permanently" installed, with a few hundred miles on it. So far, so good. All of that said, my opinion it that it IS suitable to leave on permanently.

To be sure, contact Chris Frech (Chris@DeadbrandDesigns.com) at Deadbrand Designs (https://deadbranddesigns.com/). He should be able to confirm, and was very responsive to questions I asked.
