lettering across my STB?

what do you guys think of this? i was just thinking that it may look cool to have something on my BMR stb.

like maybe
"5.7L LS1"
"CHEVROLET"
"CAMARO Z28"

or maybe the horsepower?

i was thinking i could have Brent F cut me up some specific vinyl decals to install, probably black to contrast the red bar.

any thoughts?

I would definately NOT do "Chevrolet" , or "CAMARO"

The Horsepower would be the only one I would consider... but I think overall, the less decals in the engine bay, the better.

For what it's worth I saw one tastefully done with a small BMR sticker right in the middle. It looked sharp.

I hope to god he was actually sponsored by BMR..otherwise

I think putting the logo of the company that actually makes your STB is okay. Most people would just assume that the logo came on the piece from the factory. For what its worth, I have a white BMR decal on my BMR STB and it doesnt look out of place.

Oh yeah it's totally ok.. not rice or anything. What I meant is that it takes all motivation away from BMR to sponsor anyone if everyone buys stickers and advertises for them already.. see what I mean ?

lol....something that actually started me thinking of doing this was that i just took off the BMR sticker from the stb. it was wearing and looked crappy

soo i pulled it off, cleaned the gunk off and now it seems kindda "sparse"

any other ideas?

yeah something like that. i think that looks pretty cool

i'd probably get black, match the other black molding and plastic stuff under the hood.

thanks for the pic

I also had Brent make my decal for my strut tower brace and I like the way it looks. He does very good work

well I KNOW that....what I mean is...I'm don't like the bowtie period. On the outside...on the inside...What I was saying was that it's played out down here...
