Default Windshield Decal yay or nay........

i hope this attachments posted for the pic of my new hondata decal. At first i was not sure after i bought it if i really honestly liked windshield decals on cars. but now that it is on i think it turned out really good


And i know i am not sponsored by Hondata or anything but when you spent the money on a major piece to your car, why not show what your running.


So question is what do people think of it, did it turn out good? Is it appropriate?

Need to see the rest of the car, just a picture of a windshield is going to get a lot of thumbs down.

You need 100whp over stock for every 6" square area of decal.

lol Well i am a proud LS/Vtec owner, waiting to go turbo hopefully by 2011 assuming my girlfriend doesnt total her car again and me end up buying her a new one again.

I would upload more but since i took the pics on her camera and i cant seem to figure out how to downsize the pics because they are currently 10mp's. so HT wont let me upload them.

But i am running close to 200hp right now. or maybe more, not exactly sure because i am currently searching still for a good place to get a tune done, but michigan sucks for dyno's unless its a freaking Grand Prix GTP or something along those lines.

But just simple, does the Hondata decal look good?

I actually like some windshield decals. Reminds me of a kinda old school look.

Not all of them though and not all cars though.

I have to agree with Turbo Dan about seeing the rest of the car.

You can open the images in Paint and resize them.

No.

If I were putting anything on my car, a Hondata sticker would be the last one to choose.

To me, just seems like a big "steal me- I'm swapped" banner.

Sorry dude, not feeling it.

He does, that's who. That is why he asked us. That is why the tread exists.

why on earth would you advertise for a company who has done nothing for you? thats a free bilboard for whoever.

i actually grind some labels off, like the hasport ekk2 mounts i have. seriously, hasport didnt cut me a deal on them. i paid 550 bucks for somtehing that cost them 100 bucks to make, as far as im concerned they owe me a thankyou card. i also wanted them to look as stock as possible because my car is going thru a legalization process for street use in japan with a K swap.

its just 40 dollars worth of vinyl that you will probably take a razorblade to in 6 months anyway.

It really depends on the car too. A banner might look good on a car with the right modifications, but look out of place on an otherwise stock looking car.

Depends on the banner and the car.

Thats exactly what i was thinking too.....it depends on the car, but either way it was storming the other day and i noticed the wiper blades swipe across a part of it, so its not going to last long anyways.
