I don't like the way the coil cover on the passenger side doesn't say anything about what the engine is but the driver's side does. I got to thinking of putting some sort of decal on the passenger coil cover similar to the older Marauders that had these on their valve covers:

so i made this up:

What do you guys think?

I'm going to try out high temp vinyl or just go with aluminum for the decal material

That's nice but won't the heat cause it to come off
See what Daniel can do for you at Colex Customs

Well, I finally got the decals in. I worked with a local guy that makes signs and stickers for a lot of people that put them under the hood. From what I've read people don't have an issue with the heat. I gave him the file and the dimensions I wanted and he came through. They fit between the cover bolts really well and they are really sticky. I wish that line with the green cap wasn't there, but what can you do?

We'll see how they actually hold up to the heat but I don't think there will be an issue.

It looks like something that belongs on an air filter cover if it was curved.

damn man stole my idea, about the Super Marauder. I got this saved on my e-bay for over 6 weeks and was planning to put Super Marauder on if/when I got supercharged. U must be a genius..:)

well, the decal has been on for over 6 weeks and with driving the car daily the decal is neither peeling nor fading.
im thinking of coming up with a different style with the old school Mercury logo in cursive

It would be great if it was made to fit into the recessed area on the driver's side coil cover;)
