Default Certain Decals OK?

I'm curious. I am not all about bling bling rims, big wings and graphics... but is it ok to put a couple of small decals on my side window? Example: The performance shop's, who helps me with my car and a small Mugen one. I don't want my car to look tacky, but I do want to show support for the 2 things my car most represents. All opinions welcome, but please don't be rude Thanks! -Cassie

Do what you want to do...it's your car. Don't let anyone tell you what to do with it. But yeah, those stickers are fine. Representing your shop and some parts that you find exceptionally outstanding on your car are fine.

It's purely a matter of opinion. There is no right or wrong answer.

But I think stickers suck.

It's personal preference, but a lot of people are against any decals at all. The only sticker I sport on my R is a small "Take It To The Track" decal provided by Scott K...thanks again bro. Just my way promoting against street racing. But to each his/her own opinion.

it's your car, do what you want.. BUT.. be ready for peoples opinions if they don't like it. That's just life.

Any car looks best with a We-Todd-Did-Racing sticker IMO

The only sticker i have on my car is a JOTECH motorsports sticker on my front window and thats because i get my stuff from there and i know those guys. Im planning on putting Honda-Tech decals on my side windows too.

Yeah, I think I'll stick with my "RIDE" sticker and nothing else. It isn't huge or anything... I'm gonna go a little off topic here just to vent quickly... The Western seaboard dock worker strike sucks. That's my front-end conversion on that boat! Gimme!

My rule of thumb is only put decals on the windows or underneath the hood. Decals may look nice at the time of installation but causes uneven wear of the paint. Living in sunny Florida, if you put a decal on the body of the car and remove it after a few years, the paint fade would definitely show and in which case the decal will become permanent whether you like it or not.

I removed my ITR stickers on my car and in certain angles you can still see the outline of where the stickers used to be.

The guy who had my car before me was an idiot and was in an accident and had to get the car repainted, he actually bought all of the ITR decals and gave them to me. They're staying in the house. You wouldn't believe the city I live in, guys driving GSR's don't know what my car is. I don't think they would even if the ITR decals were on there, hehe

Oh, BTW, stickers for parts you've got are clues to theives (not like the bastards need the encouragement, but...). I call them "steal me" stickers. Just something to think about.

I'm not much a fan of stickers. But yea do what you want jsut don't be a ricer and put up a bunch of stickers for part you dun got.. looks dumb and probably attracts theives or sumtin. I think the closest to putting a sticker I'd put on is one for a shop I use and I'd prolyl only use it at the races or something. I don't want to be driving around with one on. But yea it's up 2 you man.
