Default Opinions on this lid decal...

Heres a decal I cut for a local f-body enthusiest for his black z28's clear MTI lid.

Its done in brushed aluminum layed inside a red outline so its 2 colors with out being layered.

Let me know what you guys think...






If anyone is interested in something similar shoot me an Email. I can do the same design in the brushed and red vinyl that says LT1, SS, 5.7 or pretty much anything else you can think of.

Thanks for any responses....

I think it looks okay. Nothing awesome. I think it would look a lot better if you made the letters a little less bubbly looking and changed the slant of the letter a litte bit to the left. But nice work!

So you think it should be more straight up and down or just a little less slanted??

its the first lid decal ive done for someone else so I just was wondering if everyone else liked it. I thought it was a pretty cool font. The aluminum doesnt show up very good in the picture.

And for those of you who dont know this already...

STICKERS ARE DYNO PROVEN TO BE WORTH BETWEEN 10-15 REAR WHEEL HORSE POWER!!!!! + AN EXTRA 5 WHEN APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE ENGINE!!!!! <img src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" border="0" alt="[bullshit]" /> <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0">

But doesnt it look better than those boring thin LS1 decals that come on the lids???

I thinner outline and a smaller size of font. Maybe 3/4 of the size your have right now. Because you open your hood and it's like "BAM!" In your face big sticka powa.... It robs the beauty of the LS1 itself.
