In an ever-expanding desire to add more chrome...
is this too much? bought an emblem set for my atv (i know cheesy, but thats the point) so i stripped the paper from around the emblem and placed where i thought would be appropriate, sans the other kompressor emblem and i liked it some. id like your honest input though. dont want to be known as the pimped e but some i think feel im already there. still waiting on the interior cf btw, any day now!!!

Your engine compartment looks perfect, very similar to SLR. Carbon everywhere....but I think it might be just a little over the top to add labels. Anybody that has the desire to look at your motor usually knows how many cylinders it has and what a blower looks like.

Great CF. Keep it simple. JMHO.

The chrome looks awsome, but the V8 is a bit too much, too american. (dont get me wrong, I love american muscle cars)

I'd ditch the V8 and leave the star by itself. I do like the Kompressor logo though. The car looks great Peter!

Something on 4 wheels..
I would remove the "Kompressor"-label, too, because you can see it's an add-on (star is O.K.). Did you use scissors or a saw from the 18th century or why does the cut-out look so inaccurate ( background of V8 and Kompressor is not geometric) Shame on you.. No, just kidding... :p

The rest looks really professional though

I actually like it. I don't think its too "flashy" because its under the hood. You've got the chrome and the CF, so why not?

I vote no ... it compromises what you have already done.

Don't add them. The chrome letterings will add too much weight to your car.

--> "mr seKs r poo" or something.

the letters are still stuck on tape they were merely placed there. like the 18th century saw reference though!
