Looks good. Does it obstruct your view?

BTW, do you know if plexi/perplex can be etched as well? Or is it a different technique?

Good job man, and I'm glad your happy with your modification. I believe there is a yenko dealership still in existence, but I think they sell hondas. http://www.yenkohonda.com/

It does not really obstruct your view that much, because it is so far up. Maybe some.

Great idea, not a fan of how it turned out. Your car has nothing to do with Yanko's, so basically you have the equivalent of a sticker for a product thats not even on your car...or a GT-R emblem.

And as for the dealership question, Yanko's and COPO's were mostly sold out of the Fred Gibbs Chevy Dealership in Illinois.

Meh the dude is in Germany, cut him some slack. The cars are so few and far between over there he could put RX9 in the middle of the bowtie and it wouldn't bother anybody.

I have to give props to anyone so willing to make such a bold change. Just make it fast enough so nobody can catch up to read it, lol.

They wont know jack **** about "Yenko" in Germany. They think David Hasellhoff is a rock star over there!!

I wouldn't do it personally, but it might look pretty good. Roll that thing out into the sunlight and take a decent picture. Then we can comment. Even in the US, only serious car guys know what the hell Yenko means, anyway. Its Chevy related, and in Germany that's good enough.

the bow tie dimensions look off size... If I HAD to put yenko I would have made the text bigger or made the bow tie smaller..
car has nothing to do with yenko.. kinda fruity.. i'd rather has SS or Z28.. whatever floats your boat...
If you sell your car that can't really help the resale value either
