The font matches teh wheels decently well.... could be better though. Dunno if you were going for that, but I think that part of it is a good idea...

i never really liked people putting SS on a thirdgen it doesnt belong but whatever you like
i like the idea 454 7.4 somone was saying
i like the idea 454 7.4 somone was saying
the font looks like something i've seen on a honda before. not knocking just letting you know it' looks kinda "importish"
i say go w/ the one similar to the photoshoppe if you have to put stickers on it.
other than that your ride is very Nice!

I think it looks neat. though I wonder what it would look like in smaller lettering running the entire length (or 3/4 or so) of the cowl. all in all though...yea

I give it a nay as well only because I wouldnt do it myself. But its your car... I never give any clues to what I am running under the hood. I like the cowl hood though.It compliments the car real well. What kind is it? Did it fit right in or did you have to make a lot of adjustments?

The thing is, people all ready know i have something big and nasty, especially after you hear it. I have about a 1/4 inch between the cowl and the air cleaner, which is great. The hood fit for **** if that is what you were asking about... I wanted to get one that would go the whole length of the cowl, but i got these stickers for free, so i didnt pass them up. Its funny when people look at the car now, just to see there faces. sure have scared away a few cobra's with it. he he.

My car looks stock on the outside for now and needs paint so noone really bothers me cuz they think I just got a loud muffler. Just wondering if your hood went on without any problems. Your car looks tight tho.

Nay on the font, although I have always liked the side of the cowl lettering. Then again, if you have a 454 in your thirdgen, does anything else really matter?
it's just me but i like to be subtle....let the motor speak for itself. i have a litre badge still on the car that shows but at least they have to know.
now days your car can be loud as all he!! and it still doesn't make you fast. the biggest problem i see is without even knowing the driver of that car i would assume that they are under 18 which is wrong i know but that's the type of things you'll see in my area with respective aged drivers. i think it would look 100% better in a "classier" letter style. either way it's a nice car.

Know what would be REALLY cool? Go buy some of those cast badges that say:
SS
454
Like the '70 big block Chevelles had... that would look really sweet

The "427" in my avatar looks about the same as the "454" badges on the 'Vette hood.

with a different font. From far away it'll look like the japanese lettering the ricers love.
