Default How far should I take my "sleeper status?"

I have an old EF hatch that is coming along now and it looks pretty stock. Original 13" steelies, body is immaculate but one fender was sanded and resprayed (by me). it doesn't look like much until you open the hood and then you got the fresh looking built motor & tranny, immaculate clean bay with a full wire tuck etc...

But should I take the sleeper mode to new heights? Would a "Meat is Murder" or "I love my Cocker Spaniel" bumper sticker really set it off? Or a bunch of really stupid bumper stickers just like those on the back window? What do you guys think?
