Default "Supercharged" emblems and Boost gauge

Folks, I ordered some Supercharged emblems from http://www.clubgpstore.com/itemview.asp?itemid=6

Then I put in an AutoMeter gauge I got from Summit.

They both turned out pretty decent I think. See the pics on the fourth row of thumbnails at my Formula website >>

The whine advertises enough, but you just couldn't beat this stuff for the price and quality.

Looks very nice, I would level the boost guage just a bit though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'm not sure what you mean "level" it. You mean facing straight out, or turned to be pointing up when I'm under boost?

Sweet Car! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I need to order some of those decals, nice. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Just so you know I went and polished my radiator cover because of you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Great idea!

NOS and supercharged, WOW <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Nice rwhp numbers!

Todd, that polished cover does seem to be popular! I like it, but it does scratch easily...

I kept my nitrous, but I unhooked a couple of wires to make sure it never accidently sprays. I'm all S/C at 462, and I don't think a 100% stock engine would appreciate both!

The emblems are cool. Hell, for $10 if I get tired of them I can just take them off. You can spend that on lunch!

Lots of folks argue over others likes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Oh Well. Worst case, If I don't like it, I'll paint it again. May be to many shiney things together.

Thanks,
