Default Strut Tower Brace/Engine plaque idea

so I had an idea to make a plaque to put somewhere in the engine bay for my California Special

anyway, 15 mins in photoshop, and this is what happened


EDIT: here's one for GT owners



let me know what you think one way or another

thanks!

the only problem is that I don't have anything I can use to make them, nor do i know anyone that has anything to make one (I was hoping someone here could help me out with that)

Very cool Joo.

An engraving business would be a good place to ask.
I have one from the LLRegistry and it really looks cool (I'll take pics of it).
I also have the dash plaque...
