I pulled the pic of the close-up markings. That'll be a piece of cake for the fiber laser. I'll have Scott look at the hood where the existing markings are and see what can be done there. This probably won't happen too fast, but now I have to do it!

I just got mine to. Thanks! I just wiped down the paint with water to get any dirt/oil off the paint and put it over the paint. Im saving the other label (only got 2) incase I decide to repaint later.
