Decal of Engine on hood?

Does anyone know where they sell the decal that shows a transparent hood so it's basically a pic of an engine? I dont have one to show but just imagine a hood being transparent. I really need to get this.

I'm kind of confused as well. Are you needing a decal the size of your hood to place there to make it seem like the hood is transparent?

OP I think you are referring to photoshopped pictures that make the hood look transparent... Care to show us a picture of what you are talking about?

OP, are you thinking of something like this? If so, those are not decals. The photographer takes a picture of the cars with the hoods closed, leaves the camera resting at the angle that picture was taken, has someone open the hoods, and then takes another picture. The rest is editing and photoshop...

That's Photoshop bro, if someone happens to print it out on a decal, expect to pay big money!

WTF .... I hope you are kidding. Get some curb finders and big bolt on whale tail while you are at it. Not mention blue neon lights under the body. Lastly, a fake nitro canister as well.

BMW did an engineering drawing of an entire 6 Series back in the 1980s.

Finally some good topics on this board.

Why don't you just cut a hole in your hood and cover it with glass (ala ZR1), or you could just use plastic wrap if glass is too expensive.

Be sure to take lots of pics during the process and post up a DIY. Good luck!
