H/P Rating Hood Scoop Decals

Should I get them or not? I was thinking Chrome 385h/p rating ones. I was told that my car was tuned to 400h/p by the previous owner but I have to way for sure knowing that, There for I will under rate the car, from what I think it has. Another problem is would it go with the flames painted on my car? What do you think. I have a little money and was thinking maybe I should get those so when I finaly get my car back I can add little things to it. Like my new gauge overlays.

I think it would detract from the look of the car

No, why tell people what you're packing? Let them "find" out.

I like them. Only go with silver/chrome on dark coloured cars. On lighter ones, do black. But first have your car dynoed to see how much HP it's putting out. Unless you just want to wing it, lol, and put your best guess on there. I know having you car dynoed is pricey BTW.

I like them, actually considering some 400hp chrome decals for my hood.

Belive it or not but there is no place to Dyno in my City. I have to drive 3 hours for even a decent tune. I decided not to add the decals since I should have a cam installed in a month or two. Then I should have for what Im hoping 420h/p not sure what cam I want yet but I have a few in mind.

I don't think they would look good on your car nothing else is flashy on it, it would kill the look in my opinion

I think that the HP decals look ok, but I'd wait until most of your performance stuff is done first.....500 HP would look a lot better than 345 HP.
