Jim,
The term Sleeper comes to mind. My R/T looks a little brazen. Once Im
broken in I'll have a hard time "working" the Chevs and Ferds since they
know what Im about. Id prefer a "quieter" approach to badging. Sure, 60s
muscle was a little loud towards the end of the decade (hockey stick decals,
strobe stripes, etc) but so was the end of the 60s in general. During the
early 80s, about the only "performance" option you could get was stickers!
Who boy, they sure make those chebby citations go fast...I hate being
associated with that kind of thing. Looks are great, but IMO they should
speak for themselves without massive advertising. Anyhow, that vinyl is
rough to keep looking good 30 years down the road. Id prefer the look of
the 17"wheels and dechromed grills to set my truck apart instead of the
screaming decals. Im seriously considering buying a spare set and stripping
mine off. Maybe a "retro" R/T decal from a challenger might do the trick.
It'd complement my direct connection plate frames...
