The instructions for the kit lists the part number for that sticker as PN 12626987 but don't know that it's available seperately.
Just trying to do my part...

I'll look to see if I still have mine since I told the dealership I did not want any decals anywhere on my vehicle.

The GMPP kit I received from Crate Engine included a GM Performance Parts sticker I put that on the underside of the hood, but that could indicate any of their performance parts.  Maybe ASAP could come up with a GMPP TUNED sticker that includes the Solstice silhouette (unless it would be considered a trademark infringement).  I'd be in for that.  I'll cross post on the BB and see if any interest is generated.

As noted, the factory decal that comes with the kit is supposed to go under the hood (and another one on the gas filler door).  What would you want with an additional decal?  Where would you want to put it?

Unless you are like one of those kids that wants to plaster the outside of their cars with STP stickers etc., I can't see what use something like this would be.

Some people just want to be as accurate as possible even if it just a sticker to most people.
I found both of them the engine bay and fuel door stickers do you need both?

Hit a deer and got a new hood, dealer couldn't get a decal after I gave them the part number. No extra decals on car. red is flashy enough...lol
I felt that as great as the kappa community is this may be the best way to find a decal. This is the best forum I have seen by a long ways. Thanks Kappa Community

Maybe someone can scan the decal so that it can be printed out on label paper.  Then people can just print new labels if they need them.

Is it the same decal that you get with the GMPP CAI?

That's it.
I did a Hi Res scan of the label last night.
I'll send out the label today.

So it replaced the sticker on the left wheelhouse liner?

What was the size of the original sticker? The file that you scanned is bigger than the original I'm sure.

Mine was about 1 X 6, and stuck it in in the center of the bottom of the hood. http://www.crateenginedepot.com/store/GM-Performance-Parts-Decals-12-x-25-25-qty-12365417-P1254C0.aspx, along with the use premium fuel only sticker that WS mentioned.  But again, because it says parts that could mean anything.

I'd probably put it on the B pillar rear window (though I'd prefer an etching look to keep it subtle looking).  It's probably more an insider thing.  Meaning you'd have to know about the kit to boost the stock 2.0 from 260 to 290.  I've seen posts were people buy used Kappa and have no idea if the tune kit was installed.  Otherwise they're told to check and see how high their boost goes.

I just measured mine - exactly 6cm square
