Added some details.
Dexters "tool" kit.
Picked up some Land rover metal decals for the G2 way back when. Always planned to use one for this build and finally got around to applying it. The issue is they are printed in a flat line, and don't translate well to curved areas such as hoods or windshields. So I used a technique I first figured out while applying a Subaru windshield decal on my sti. Maybe showing this method will help someone out. Heres how I did it. First I stuck a piece of masking tape over the area where the decal was to go.
Then mark out the borders by cutting the bottom flush with the hood, and marking the rest with a sharpie. Then peel off the masking tape and tape it down to the bench sticky side up.
This is the decal that needs to be curved.
The next step is to cut the decal into its individual letters. Just cut them right in the middle of the spacing between the letters. You also need to put the spacing between the letters as well. Then carefully stick them face side down, being careful to center them from top to bottom and keeping them touching left to right.
Then trim the edges flush with the lettering. This allows for more accurate centering of the decal when placed.
Peel the backing off the letters.
Now stick the tape down on the hood being careful to center it and keep the bottom edge flush with the bottom of the hood.
Peel off the masking tape and your done. The letters I had to paint over on this are back in all their glory.
