Photoshoping stickers

Just wondering if anyone has used Photoshop to edit and make stickers for their car. For example, Editing a TBI sticker that says 170 hp to 230 hp or whatever your car produces. I'm not saying edit the sticker to say whatever you want it to say, but to edit it to say, for example, how much your car actually prroduces. Here are a couple of pics to show what I mean.

I have never done it. Sounds like a cool idea. I am using photoshop to enhance the factory stickers under my hood so that they are easier to see and read.

What about the TPI 350? I know they don't have air cleaners, but you could put it somewhere.

Could you try FUEL INJECTION instead of the TPI text. Seems to me capital text looks better (hope it'll keep the font size large).
Cool Ideal...had been thinking the same (surfing Classic Industries), bought a couple different ones too get all the text for my needs (383 450hp, turbo-fire), then give them to a sign shop.
If you save your files under a gerber(sp?) file, that will allow most graphic places to use it.

You mean like this one? I have Photoshop 7.0, not sure if I can save it under a gerber(sp?) file.

Can't forget one for my car! The 3.1 V6, haha.
Is the Multi-Point Injection (MPI) right for the 6 cyl cars? In my Chiltons Camaro repair manual it says Multi-Point. I always though it was Multi Port?

Yea, I could make it clean. The only probem is that I don't know what they look like or have a pic of one. If you post a picture of it, I can make it.
