Skip the emblem, you need one of those 1979 firebirds painted on the hood. If those don't say power then what does? :^)

I actually don't think the V-8 on the side is that bad
It still is very surprising that many people are shocked when I tell them my car is a V-8

Cool V8 Emblem.

Hey Ivan,
You can get the V8 emblems at the stealership. The ones off the LX. Or you can go to Toyota and get the "GRANDE" V8 emblem from the tundras.
Here is where I put mine. Let me know what you think.

I'm surprised too that some people think that our cars only come in I6/V6. When I tell some of my coworkers I have a V8 and its an 2001, their mouths drop with disbelief.

Oh I like the V8 badge on the side

Thumbs up Engine Bay and V8 emblem

Hey Will

That is a nice job you've done on the engine bay. I like the green and I've always thought that gold and green together looked great.
I like it on your car but won't be doing it on mine. Oh Ive got the RMM carbon fiber engine cover on mine along with the RMM tower strutt bar.

I'm thinking of putting on some stainless hoses like in this picture.

Do you happen to know the length of the hoses I would need?

Thanks Ivan,
Your engine bay must me looking pretty tough with that SC in there and all the goodies you mentioned. I just answered your question in the other thread.
But like I said, I think those are just SS sleeves with fittings in the ends. The rad hoses are factory. Just hit up Glen.

I like the V8 badge on the sides. I was thinking about doing this a while back, just never got around to it.

I say as long as the car is a GS4xx, the V8 badge is cool.

Strange, there are plenty of V8 and V6 badges, but I've never seen I6 or I4 badge
