Nice.
"Build Date" needs a colon at the end -> "Build Date:"
"5.3" needs to be italicized.
"5.3", "303", and "323" aren't quite the same font as on our engine covers. The kerning doesn't quite seem correct. Notice how the font seems taller, thinner, and somewhat closer together. Maybe they (303 and 323) also could use some italicization?
"LS4" isn't quite the same font as the LS2 and LS3.
The white checkered flag needs to be the same color as the "GXP" letters. Or "GXP" needs to be white. Either way, they need to match.
And finally, it's okay for the actual build date to be in number or word format. It just needs to be bolded like "5.3", "303", and "323" and in the same font type.
EDIT: Why couldn't we just have the GXP logo as it is, superimposed over that black area? Similar to the WS6 in the second pic:

My only beef with these things is the hp/tq numbers. I want mine to be accurate as far as what my car is currently making and since I can't afford to buy a new one after every major mod....lol
