I have the LS1 Motorsports Airlid, with the textured surface, what do I need to do to it, so that I can put vinyl emblems on it?

I have the Whisper lid. It's textured too. I just put the factory Ram Air decal on it with no problems.

u could sand it down if u wanted to. start with a medium grit, then a fine grit, followed by a very fine grit wet paper. wet sanding will help smooth it out as much as possible. then u could paint it flat black, or gloss black, or wutever u wanted. that would give u a smoother surface to apply decals to. i just mentioned the paint cuz it will look like **** after being sanded.

I have a LS1moto lid... I took heavy grit paper then worked my way down... I had intentions on doing it all, but only did the top and faded it to the texture. Primed, painted & cleared. Put decal on afterwards. Will be changing decal here shortly... Not sure what yet...

Are you getting one of these ATA airlid decals? The best thing to do is determine the size of the area the decal will cover. Then mask and sand only the footprint of the decal following the previous directions of coarse to fine papers. Once sanded, you can paint the entire lid and apply the decal. I've seen it done this way and the results are outstanding.

You can get your own custom numbers on them too.

Thanks guys for the advise. I think i'm gonna do a Chrome Bird and Chrome Trans Am over it, kind of like the CE tail light filler panel.
