hood decals....lets here it i was thinking of doing hp decals or cubic inch decals on the side of my ss scoop. car makes rwhp numbers in sig. so what do u think i should put on there?
Oh boy, another one of these. I have a prediction:
- 1/3 of the responses are going to say put bhp
- 1/3 are going to say anyone that does that is a ricer and you should use rwhp
- the remaining 1/3 will think the other 2/3rds are all ricers for putting anything there
I say do whatever you want since you're making the payments.

I had HP numbers on my car..... I took them off just before the dyno day where I met you....lol. Reason I took them off was because I had the 4.10s put in, and I knew they wouldn't be accurate anymore. Most people seemed to like mine and they made for a great conversation piece on traffic lights and parking lots. Once I put heads on the car and consider the car "done" as far as performance goes, I'll get new decals. I just had them made at a sign shop and stuck them on there after through cleaning and lots of measuring. My hood does lend itself better to putting stickers on since it rises more sharply and higher than your hood scoop.
I say go for it, especially with those numbers. Of course you could use my logic and put engine hp numbers on there, after all, the hood is covering the engine, and most people don't know what the difference between flywheel and wheel hp is.

Like he said...The only problem with putting stickers on your hood is after you do a lil work and boost your numbers then you are a LIAR!!! 
Of course, a little lie never hurt anybody (except if they were in a Mustang

Why not put em on?? Its your car. I think they look good. I have silver 500hp stickers on my hood, and it matches the LE stripes perfectly, it looks almost factory. I just think its fun watching most peoples faces when they look at a car like ours and see thats it got 500 or 450hp. They always want to think thats its got a supercharger or No2. They dont think that its just a top end build.
I say do it; I've got 550 HP vinyls on mine, I debated on the numbers, but since I'm not looking to fool anyone, I figured I'd just go with the peak rwhp... this way I'm honest, and I can always tell people that it's crank HP... on the bottle... giving me like 350 rwhp... lol, just the back up plan...
