if you're talking about a color decal, there is no such thing. CORRECTED!!!(taught something new today!!)
All the ones you see are hand painted. Not hard at all, detach it from the hood and work on it inside...easier then sitting on your motor!

which one is he talking about??? I'm thinking the one actually on the hood liner?? I've never seen a decal for that. You figure it would melt sitting right over the motor...

Ya Steve, my decal is on the hood liner and its a full colour logo...B/W checkered flags and all. I asked the same question you did (about the underhood heat) and he said it would stand up to it as there is no direct contact. I think it was $40 so if it burns up, hey, I got suckered out of 40 bucks...but I have bought a ton of stuff off this guy so I don't think he'd try to bluff me.

If I don't say so myself, the logo looks really but we'll have to see how it holds up..pics to follow

learn something new each day...I really have never seen a decal on there, everything I've seen was always painted on. That should look cool though...speaking of which, the stock manifold is plastic on these c5's so I'm guessing that's prob. why it doesn't heat up much...mine on the other hand is a cooker, that aluminum manifold heats up like an oven. Can't wait for these pics!

OK, here are some pics...not that clear but you get the general drift. BTW, I hate this f^#king digital camera!!


For some reason, the underhood pad looks dirty here...then again I HATE THIS F^@KING DIGITAL CAMERA!


And here's the link on eBay. If you contact the seller, his name is Dave and just mention that Mo from Hamilton referred you...he knows better than to PMO so you should get looked after All kidding aside, he is great to work with...never had a problem

As You can see, you can get any coloured outline you'd like...I just happened to pick silver
