I give it an A+ for creativity. Not too sure how popular it would be though.

True put something that represents speed, a snail wont accomplish that. Cool scetch though u should put a scetch of a bird or some kind of sea thing juss bcuz i never seen some1 put 1 on a car it will b unique something every1 will talk about regardless if its good or bad as long as u have somebody attention

you guys ever seen a pic of a snail with the compressor housing on it. im trying to do sumthing similar to it with the turbo fins in the middle where the e-shaft goes. i was going to air brush it on the back of my car, right between the lights. i own a SA, so i got a space between the lights. right now i have a 100 octane sticker there. the license plate is moved to the bottom.

Could a 50 gram snail carry a 4500 gram rotor? Might take two snails to carry the rotor.

or perhaps a european snail, or two, if they put it on a string, and carried it between them.
