Shame that the passenger side H/O 455 decal is on Backwards..... They are 'directional' the drivers side is different from passenger side... I see 2 Drivers side were used.

He bought them off ebay. I've tried to tell the bozos that were selling them that they had two driver side hood scoop decals but did they listen? No. Did some people buy them? Apparently.

What's shameful is that there is paint stripe diagrams from actual cars out there, which obviously weren't used here, and the more correct stripe color is available. Yet they keep running back to the 69 color palette for the incorrect gold color. It's like repainting a GNX dark brown. Ain't my car or money, but I still can be disappointed in it should I choose to.

W-56? Might be a typo. Maybe they meant to say W-46 455. I dunno. Does look rather stupid that way, though.

On the website, they show interior pictures. Rockets on both sides of the inner door panels are upside-down. WTF?

Funny... yep, I've tried as well that they need to 'review' the pair being sold....

Comes down to doing some background research during restoration... And now in 2022 it's easier than it was 20 years ago...Kills me when I see that as those decals are one of the more 'in your face' features of the car that you would want to get correct.
