Default Thought on Performance Equipment Decals

Hi all,

Well, after the encouragement from folks here, you can see by my sig I have attached some side window louvers, honeycomb panel, etc. I have been debating on affixing some decals to the rear, such as my Magnaflow Performance Exhaust decal, AEM Brute Force Intake System decal, Superchips decal, etc. I was considering mainly license plate level and below. What are some of your thoughts on this? Some are multicolored, some solid color (for the solid color, would use black).

Also, if someone has added decals to their daily driver and has photos, would you mind sharing?

Thanks again, bill

In my opinion it's just going to break up all the clean lines on the car. Your car looks great how it is. If you put stickers on there, everyones' eyes will be drawn there and not to your pretty car!

I vote no.

I say no, also. Why would you want to crap up your car? Maybe if you're in a NASCAR race, but, come on...

I would have to say no. Stay with the clean look that you currently have.

I vote no aswell... nothings better than a sleeper. If you've got all those decals on there then everyone knows what you've got. Having said that, if you're sponsored definately put those perf part decals on and support your sponsor.

Stickers add 10 HP a piece and a NOS sticker adds 100HP!
