LOL...that's exactly what I have done to mine, but I'm not going to have any flames or anything like that on mine. I have some emblems I picked up at the wrecking yard I'm going to use. One is a Bowtie logo, one says Fuel Injection and the other says 3.8 Litre.

I ask because the chemicals in the paint, clearcoat or not, should eat right through that vinyl.
