this is what i used to have. look familiar? i de-badged an 08 silverado for a guy and kep the letters.



this is what it has now. the only reason i put them there is to cover up the gay hole from the fender marker lamps the previous owner installed.

Throw a ram air hood on it and call it a "WS-6+2" since you went from 6cylinders to 8.
