So the plastic letters are bonded to the sidewall? A fellow discussed this method with me some years ago and I tested the waters here, and the response was not positive. Seems the idea of replica billboards is taboo for owners of replica Cobras.

Oh so true - you can see it here in some of the posts. It even goes to the GY lettering - it's as if I'm thinking about ripping off GY by thinking about creating a way to paint their letters since they do such a slopping job (on purpose, of course). Fake car, but add fake lettering by painting or other options - YIKES!

Actually, even the original Cobra was a Frankenstein monster. Well done and classic, but nonetheless cobbled together from lots of different sources.

The purest around here are a little insane given that 99.99999% own a replica. On the other hand, we are all a little insane in one way or another.
