Default Custom hood sticker

I'm not much into stickers or decals the least bit. I actually removed every sticker, decal, and side molding...including painting over the rear center peice bird. The only thing that even designates the cars make is the rear fascia (PONTIAC) logo, which is still white.

but here is my idea... I was at disney land last week, of all places, and I saw a design I thought would look cool on the hood of my car. It was on the "Star Wars" space shuttle/ship thing for those of you who have been there.

Before you look at the pictures the decal would be approx 8" long from the longest 2 points and 4" horizontal following the angle of the hood.

Any changes in color or placement would be accepted.

So I'll shut up now, take a look and take the poll!

Enjoy!

Hmmm... Cool idea but a little too tacky/ricer (like the Bio Hazard stickers or something) for me

Only difference is - on those aircraft its useful, being that thing will suck you in if you arent careful

I mean, we all know these cars can suck up the competition but there's a bit of a difference with an ~8' long turbine and an LS1 in this case lol.

Yeah it could!

I think the sticker is funny because people would probably ask if it is actually dangerous.

I would love to see/hear other people's reactions when they see that! I bet some ricers will pass by it and say, "Yea, those LS1's are dangerous. My hand almost got sucked up the intake when my friend was revving it."

My opinion: Do whatever YOU want. Personally, I'd probably put that sticker in the opening under the air lid.

Good Luck

Edit: I wasn't that clear, but I was referring to inside the engine bay.

haha, that's awesome!

I never would have thought to get an appearance idea from the Star Tours ride, though.
I think you should definitely do it. It's not like you can't take it off if you get tired of it. I say it's definitely worth a shot and you never know what kinda comments you will get on it.

btw, I'm a Star Wars fan so I might be biased.
