At least that's how it appears according to the pics in the FSM's. Thanks. I’ll try the 77-78. If the community likes them, then maybe I can look into other years or if it’s requested by the community.

February 19, 20205 yr Author comment_592803 Hello again everyone. I would like your feedback again. Getting white on a decal has been difficult and attached are a few color options. Original was silk screened which i cant afford. I put a black background on it so you can see how it would look. But it will be on clear film. Let me know your thoughts or any other color suggestion.

February 20, 20205 yr comment_592806 Well most people are going to want white, strong vibrant colours are going to look out of place but that orange might do the trick, better if you could find a way to dull it down. It's just a fuse box cover, you don't want it to draw the eye to it, you just want it to blend in.

How about more of a brownish color? Should not pop as much from the cover and should still be easily legible.

February 20, 20205 yr comment_592811 Or maybe a lighter yellow? and for informational references, I put a 77' cover on Jai's 76' (she didn't have one to compare with). I don't recall any fitment problems, but I think the only difference was the exterior printed fuse locations maybe?

If the fitment is the same, just different fuse labeling, it makes it easier as the labeling is easier than designing a new part. How about this ? Slightly different shades of yellow. I do agree that the brown would not pop out, but concerned with it not being legible against the black background. I think top left looks decent.

February 20, 20205 yr Author comment_592815 Ok. I think it will have to be the light yellow. the brown just does not make a good contrast with the background.
