Is your car indeed, quick? If its not then you're gonna look pretty silly if you get hosed by like, a Hyundai Excel.

Not saying a Hyundai Excel will beat you but you get my drift...

Give it another 100 then go for QWK-360. To be honest in todays world, if I saw QWK-260 on a V8 I'd think. meh..... maybe if it was on a 4 banger.

But don't let me stop you, I'm only giving my thoughts.....which often mean nothing!

Don't worry, anyone into cars in the slightest will know what it means.

A mate once had IEATV8 on a rotor.........you can imagine the ruckus that used to cause.......the worse part was it was only sometimes correct

wouldn't even know how big they are in liters, but if you know just convert it to inches....But then you'd really be confusing people. If they see QWK-330 (for example) they are going to think it's power........if you know what i mean.

But for me personally I have never really been into custom plates to be honest, especially ones that claim certain things.

About the only plate I ever really thought was clever was 1XX1 on a 911 porsche. it physically looked good with the whole symmetry thing, and it was just plain clever.

yeah thats true..its awkward because there is different meanings like boss 260 and there can also be boss 330 which means its had work done to it..but 330 is also the cubic inch..which in the old days used to be common..none of this kw rubbish..it was for example GT 351..
