    Dressing Up the Air Box

    Bought a pair of stainless DMC door sill letters to use on my air (cleaner) box. My original air box sticker looked really tired, and instead of getting a NOS one, I thought I'd try the door sill letters instead. My friend got a NOS sticker a year or so ago, and it is already fading and browning. The stainless letters are just a bit bigger than the letters in the sticker. Now, I just have to figure out what to do with the other set!

    I used the hood emblem on my air cleaner. Was going to use the grill emblem but it looks to big.

    I might get the SS sticker kit one of these days. Looks better than stock and will last.

    I was considering the grill emblem, but I was able to get this pair of door sill letters for $25. The grill emblems are over $60. And you would have to cut the mounting posts off. You have a picture of the hood emblem on your air box?

    Where did you find the door sill letters? I thought they quit making them because of issues with them coming off.

    See the guys over at the EuroTec Forum:

    http://www.deloreaneurotec.co.uk/for...hp?f=102&t=431

    They were £15 shipped to the US. Much cheaper than what they sell (sold) for here. They come without adhesive, so I used the super strong 3M mounting tape. They also sell the bumper letters for £20.

    Damn that's a great deal. For that price I might actually have to break down and get some of these.
