Opinions on billboard
« on: January 13, 2014 - 06:23:07 PM »
I'm looking at getting a customer billboard made for my Cuda, but would it be retarded on getting it to say Blown on the sides instead of the regular engine sizes that are on it? Since it's pretty much a custom car and nothing on the car is stock besides the body itself, I thought why not.

Opinions?

If you can get the decal shop to make the writting in the same font and style to how the HEMI is on the side of a 71, you should be able to pull it off pretty well. :2thumbs:

My  :2cents: Every time I've said to friends who weren't car people that I was thinking about getting a blown engine, they fall down laughing. This includes the women as well as the men. With it on the side of your car, I'd guess that the number of non-car people compared to car people who would see it is huge.

Is there another term you could use? I know it has to be short, and that's one thing that makes "blown" attractive (pun intended). "Turbo" sounds like something from the 80s. Nobody would understand "Roots" either. "Supercharged" is way too long. How about something like "6-71"?
