I made them with epoxy.  I tried to tig them on but the test part didnt come out to good.  cast aluminum pits and had a under cut to the weld.  I couldn't turn the heat down low enough to lay the letters on top of the intake. the tungsten would stick at the lower temp.
I think the epoxy looks pretty good.

I got put in the F-4 class last year.  the tech line guy told me do to my intake , headers, and window louvers.

I think the louvers are fine now. the rules say any parts that were available for your car that would of been used on your car can be used.  last year if you had louvers , you had to so proof it was a dealer install on your car.
