EMPI Sticker Pack

OVERVIEW

Showcase your dedication to the legendary heritage of Volkswagen performance with the official EMPI Sticker Pack. For over half a century, the EMPI name has been synonymous with the "Engineered Motor Products, Inc." legacy, established by Joe Vittone to provide high-quality performance parts that transformed the humble Beetle into a racing contender. This comprehensive decal sheet brings together a collection of the most iconic logos in the air-cooled industry, allowing you to pay homage to the brand that defined the Cal-Look and off-road racing scenes. Whether you are finishing a ground-up restoration or simply adding some vintage flair to your daily driver, these stickers represent the gold standard of VW aftermarket excellence.

This isn''t just a single decal; it is a curated assortment of EMPI iconography designed to fit perfectly on various surfaces of your vehicle or workshop. Each sheet features a variety of sizes and styles, including the classic EMPI globe and period-correct typography that looks right at home on a quarter window, a chrome bumper, or even your favorite rolling tool chest. Constructed from high-quality, weather-resistant vinyl, these stickers are engineered to withstand the elements, from the scorching sun of a summer car show to the mud and grit of a Baja trail. Don''t settle for generic flair when you can represent the brand that helped build the air-cooled community from the ground up.

PRO TIPS

1. Proper Surface Preparation is Paramount

To ensure your EMPI decals stay put for years to come, you must properly prep the surface. Use a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water to remove all wax, grease, and road film from the area. Even if the car looks clean, microscopic wax residue can prevent the adhesive from bonding permanently. Avoid using ammonia-based glass cleaners if you are applying the stickers to windows, as the chemical film can lead to premature peeling at the edges. Always apply stickers in a shaded area when the surface temperature is between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit for the best initial tack.

2. The "Dry" vs. "Wet" Application Method

For the smaller decals in this pack, the "dry" method is usually sufficientsimply peel and stick, starting from one edge and smoothing toward the other with a plastic squeegee or a credit card to prevent air bubbles. However, if you are applying the larger EMPI globe to a curved surface like a Beetle fender or a toolbox lid, consider using a very light mist of "sticker juice" (water with one drop of dish soap). This allows you to slide the decal into the perfect position before squeegeeing the water out. This "wet" method is the secret to getting a perfectly centered, bubble-free installation every single time.

3. Strategic Placement for the Period-Correct Look

If you are aiming for an authentic 1960s or 70s "Cal-Look" aesthetic, placement is everything. Historically, EMPI decals were most commonly found on the lower rear corner of the side quarter windows or centered on the rear window just above the engine lid. For off-road builds and Baja Bugs, placing the larger logos on the front fenders or the side of the air cleaner housing is a classic move. Remember, "less is more" when it comes to vintage styling; choose one or two key locations to highlight the EMPI brand without cluttering the clean lines of your Volkswagen''s iconic silhouette.
