ya, its worth the money, IF you get it put on professionally, dont do it yourself, unless your 10000000000% sure, otherwise youll screw up like me and have yourself a 100$+ wrecked ball of decal

some are good, as long as they aren't overdone, or stick out too much. if you can make them blend into the car, go for it. but nothing huge, or off colored from the rest of the car. keep it simple if you're gonna do it at all.

Do what you like.

I would spend the money on something else.
If you are going to do graphics, see if they will sponser you and get it cheaper.
Or just get it painted on.

If you like them then thats all that matters.

Me, that falls in to the catagory of not making the car faster or turn better so its not going on mine.

I usually don't really like graphics, but the ones in your sig aren't too bad. Small ones like that can look nice though

ok here's the thing... I talked to them again.. now they're giving it for me for $80.. aw I forgot.. they won't install it... I need to do it myself or go to someone professional (they would probably help me though).. hmmm.. if incase I'm getting.. it'll probably just like small.. smaller than the on in my sig... I will design one the let them print it... I am still thinking about it though... some agrees and some disagrees about the idea of getting graphics. and other/s says just do what I like to do... I don't really know...

Like they said at the store, my car looks clean as it is right now and don't put a big *** graphics just like at least 2 inch in the back going down to the front (like the one in my sig)... but then again I think $80 still too much.. my friend told me he got them for $40 (same store I went to).. and his is the whole side of the cars covered by the graphics (he's got a celica and jealous people left a deep scratch on both sides of his car)... and his cousins celica they broke their windshields.. took everything inside the car... anyways, I STILL DON'T KNOW LOL

yea, and they should charge you less because u made the graphic for them so they don't have to use their own...but if they have to remake ur graphic in order for them to put it on the printer or whatever, it'll cost u more.

Think long term also,

Wont having vinyl graphics going down your car hurt the paint long term...Say you wanna remove those later on and you take them off and you have paint oxidation (or whatever you call it) and the paint is 2 different colors now.

I dont know much about vinyl graphix but that is the first thiing that came into my mind....
