Default I fitted an unddrhood logo

More comestic stuff for the Vette, underhood logo looks great and airbridge logo. believe it or not the airbridge logo was a pig compared to the underhood logo!

Looks nice. My engine blanket is filthy. I really need to figure out how to get it off of the hood and get it cleaned.

Looks good I'm surprised the underhood was easier than the airbridge. I've heard several people say the underhood was practically impossible.

I think what made the airbridge so hard was the fact I could not get it to stick no matter how hard I pressed or how much heat I put on it! I ended up peeling each piece from the front clear protetive layer and sticking them on1 by 1. Cause everytime I peeled back the top layer the logo came with it.

My underhood pad was really clean so all I did was wipe it with an alcohol pad.

I am pleased with the results! thanks guys!

Thanks guys, if anyone would like to know where I got my underhood logo from it was on Ebay.com for $43.95 the guy was very helpful and I recommend him if you would want one. He does different color combos for the logo.

Never had a need to do it myself but picked up the tip from other owners. Makes sense as it would be heat resistant. Should be able to find it in spray can at a place like Lowes I'd guess
