I've started doing it. It's fun for a track car. Plus my little kids like it and think it's cool, lol.

Vellos Vinyls puts out a great underhood decal that I have on my car. It's an excellent attention getter, and kids love it. I put it on my own car, and have car show plaques in other areas under there. I don't regret for one minute doing this. It's not something many other vehicles can pull off successfully. You can find it at this link: https://vellosvinyl.com/products/cor...der-hood-decal Have fun!

I didn't realize someone made this decal specifically for our C4 hood. I found one online years ago that was "close" in size and put it on.

Like @LiveWire1 I like it

Vellos has a lot of cool stuff on his web site.

Only thing I've ever bought, though, are the stickers that go over the hood and gas lid emblems.

It beats having to replace the emblems wit hthose crappy aftermarket emblems year after year that fade so quickly.

The color vibrancy of the stickers last far, far longer than that of the aftermarket emblems themselves that they sell nowadays.

The emblem stickers I have on the car now have bee non there for almost three years and still maintain their color vibrancy.

Only thing about it is that the order forms for them on his web site are unnecessarily confusing.

My 93 had one at one time before I bought the car. It preserved the paint under the sticker, as the paint is flaking around where the sticker should be. Otherwise, under hood stickers aren't for me personally. Some look really nice as posted above, but just not my personal style.

Default does it hold up

I saw them online and it looked really good but the heat under the hood makes me wonder how well it holds up. How long have you had that installed? Any heat wrinkles or sagging?

That decal is four years old now. The biggest problem I have is the fan belt throwing up a little dirt on it now and then. Otherwise, it's good! The actual decal is only the white squares. The black is your hood's actual color. I would paint it first. 3M puts out a semi-gloss black spray paint in a can called Mar-Hyde. It's the closest thing I've seen to the factory finish. I removed the inner fenders and painted the hood, then painted the fenders and put them back on.

Did you have to remove the hood to paint the underside? Mine could use that but I have not because of the hassle of removal. That is why your decal caught my eye. Would not have to paint what decal would cover.

No, it was a very easy job with just a little masking around it, and a sheet over the engine. Go for it!
