Default What decal should I put on my ss hood?

Now that I got my SS Hood I have been thinking what decal to put on the scoop. I have been thinking of the hp decal does anyone have any better advice? I even considered a decal like in the attachment

An HP decal or the H.O. 350 works too. And blah blah blah - I know it is not a 350 . . . .

i have a hp decal on there, and it really does spice up the hood quite a bit, gives it some nice flair. mine ended up looking really good in the end, took some time gettin it all lined up perfect, but a mod well worth it

Here's a few pics of my SS with outlined hood scoop.

MY SS click on memebers and then sandy

You could always have the HP decals done in the stripes too, and have the

best of both worlds

Thumbs up

I vote for the HP decal. I never cared much for the black insert. It just doesn't flow to me. The HP decal is nice & subtle...

Ssean, for some reason, I thought they stopped making that decal because guys were having so many problems getting it installed correctly. That will look great on your black SS! Be sure to post of some pics when you get it on there.

I'll post some pics for sure. Looking at his site, looks like they still make them, but theres quite a bit of warning. I'm going to put these on and see if I like them...if I do, I'll get it painted on a little later down the road

Same here. As soon as I saw a ZL-1 in person with it, I just fell in love with the way it follows the lines of these cars so well.

Yes they do, just for the hood though.
