    Would you buy letter decals for your engine cover? To cover "VVT-i 16 Valve" in any color you like? This would be high quality vinyl decal.

    What's it worth to you?
    How much would you pay for it shipped?

    I would because I've seen how nice they turn out, but I don't have an engine cover with raised lettering anymore.

    This is not just for show, you are doing a mod directly to the motor. Of course it's gonna be make some serious power. And yes, bigger sticker makes more power, it's the same concept of having a bigger turbo.

    Wait, so you are saying that by buying this sticker we get a turbo along with it? Sweet! :D :p

    For $5 with shipping that is a deal!

    It's just a concept for you to understand.

    A known fact is turbo makes power. And a bigger turbo makes even more power.
    A sticker is just like a turbo. Apply sticker on your engine will make power. And applying bigger stickers make even more power.

    Hm... seems as if no one can resist cracking jokes that have been heard way too much.

    I was actually being serious about the decals. Personally I like them because it dresses up your engine. I don't know why toyota would even bother painting the raised letters silver if it didn't add some kind of asthetic value.
    I was hoping people were going to give some straight forward opinions, but I get a bunch of clowns crackin easy jokes instead.

    Thanks to those who actually put some thought into it...

    Sorry man, sometimes I guess we all get carried away. But vinyl is cheap, and you don't have to make them and keep them in stock, just make them when they get sold. So just post them up for sale and see what comes out of it. It seems like you already did the design, so it is a small step to make them and sell them. I actually have an extra 01-02 engine cover that I plan on painting, putting vinyl on the letters and maybe clearcoat it and see if someone has any interest in buying it since I have no use for it. Of course this would be a experimental project for me.

    I would be a little concerned with the heat and the vinyl getting messed up, but whatever. Anyway honestly I like the metal engine covers better than the plastic ones, but whatever, that is just my opinion.

    I say charge around $7 bucks for it and see what people say. I have seen your other badge work and it is really nice.

    Eh, its ok. I didn't have such a great morning.
    I've had my decals on for about 2 weeks now, nothing shrinking or melting yet. I might sell them. Thanks for your opinion, I do appreciate it!

    Word, same tired old jokes. And oh, look, what a surprise, always comes from the same people. It's really hard not to hate, especially when the guy is trying to get serious responses. eh, my 2 cents
