 White letters are totally a personal choice , I love them on turbines and when I finally buy a set of tires they WILL have white letters

No, it's a temp plate until I make one . All the aluminum under the hood will be like this, and all the other parts will be black

I vote for white letters on the tires.

Also on the upper intake you can cut the little bracket off on the side opposite of the throttle opening. It cleans up the upper nicely.

So far it's leaning towards turbines with white letters.

Toolbox sounds like a good idea for the stickers, thanks..... Why didn't I think of that. I got everything else stuck to it already. lol

IMO blackwalls with no white letters is a cleaner look.  I like white letter tires on cars from the '60s and '70s but I don't think they work as well on newer cars.
