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?

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