John, the question is really "What do you like?" I looked through hundreds of old pictures to get a sense of what would be on a vintage Cobra and kind of went from there. That direction also made me source decals from different sources because a single source didn't have what I wanted. For instance, apparently Shell was always the petrol sponsor for SA so I thought having "puroil" or some other
oil advert on mine wouldn't look right so I wound up buying the shells from another source. Now that being said, all of those decals are on a car with 2 roll bars. How original is THAT? But, I knew that I'd have passengers that I'd want to afford the same protection that I had and made that decision early on in the process. That’s just one example of the many that I’ve made contrasting a vintage look with my personal demands.
As to how well they stay during washing? Never had a problem at all.
