I got the LS1 Motorsports lid, the textured one. Has anyone tried to put vinyl decals on one, and spray a layer of clearcoat over it? I wonder if that would work.

Might be tough to do a vinyl decal with the textured finish.

I put a factory Ram Air decal for the factory airbox on my Direct Flow lid. Worked perfect. I thought about sanding it some, but it went on good for now anyway.

Depending on the thickness of the decal it will go on just fine, the bumps would just transfer through.

Another thing you can do, it tape a heavy frame on the lid, the exact size of the decal, then sand all the bumps down, thats what I did.

Got the lid decal from Afterthoughts Auto.

The LS1 Motorsports lid that I once owned had an "LS1 Motorsports" vinyl decal on it when I bought it, so I'd say that you'll be just fine. However, the texture will show through.

If you've used any spray-on protectants (Armor All, Meguirs, etc) on the lid, make sure you get all of that off before applying any decals. You'll have trouble getting them to stick otherwise.

That was my point. You can certainly put a decal on there but the texture will show through and give you a bumpy decal.

I put a Sliver metallic Firebird and the word FORMULA on my LS1 motorsoprts lid. I used a little less water than normal and sat there for a while pressing it into the textures until it was dry. I used a little drop of edge sealer and wiped it around the edges. It stayed there for about 15,000 miles before I traded the car in. Only problem I had was the "A" on the Formula. It peeled off.

I agree with Andy!

I used a stock black z28 emblem from GM.
