Talking Decals What is your Opionion?

When you put on decals of brands of mods you've done to your car, is it pointless to put them on if you aren't being sponsored or anything?? I do shows here and there and it's one reason why i put some one my ride??? I realize some of you disagree with putting them on the car because of theft and it takes away from the cleanness of the ride, but i'm looking for your thoughts about what i've asked. Decals= sponsorship only or Decals= still ok w/out sponsorship??

If your sponsored by someone then yeah you need to use their decals, if not dont do it, it just makes you look stupid and you are giving free advertising. The main reason it make you look stupid is coz of the ricers that put decals for parts they dont have. So stay out of the ricer realm and unless your sponsored dont use manufacturers decals.

sometimes it looks good but only on a car that is or could be sponsored, not on a stock car with steelies, with a tein and comptech sticker or sumthin. but you can always rep a 7thgen sticker

Had a 7thGen decal on my Civic... I think decals are fine as long as they are not overdone.

I have 1 decal on my RSX, just to promote exposure for the RSX club in my area.

I think having manufacturer decals is kind of lame unless you're sponsored. Having decals for clubs is alright since clubs always need more members!

If you got decals, you might as well put a "PLEASE STEAL ME" sign next to the car. You'd be asking for trouble..

I think that having a few decals on the rear window is ok, but only if you actually have something on your car that relates to that company. I see several cars all the time with AEM stickers, eibach, apexi, etc... and they have nothing done to there car. But otherwise I dont like seeing cars with stickers plastered all over the car. It is ok for show use, but not a car driving down the street.

dude... i have decals on my car of all the products that i have on my car like injen and RS*R and i put them on just cause i got them free... my bro-inlaw has a cutter so he cut some for me and they're all the same size and color and it looks pretty nice... It' draws a little more attention but most of it is good feedback. i think if you plan to do it first your car can't look stock at all unless it's car club stickers, and second you gotta have the product before you put the stciker on. I paid $80 for a sparco shift **** and $70 for sparco carbon fiber pedals, you better believe that imma put a sparco sticker on my car that was given to me for free. I don't put any decals on my car unlees i have the product. if you do it right then people will admire it or at least they wont hate on you. I'd say just try it out if people hate on you then just take them off... won't know till you try.

Do whatever the hell you want! if you want to plaster your car w/decals go for it, your the one who will get the feedback. But if your going to throw all kinds of product decals on your car just cuz they came with it, THATS LAME!!!!

just my opinion though

I have 2 infinity stickers and a 7thgencivic.com sticker on my car, the infinities are because i love infinity speakers, i have them in my home and eventually all throughout my car, they're not big, about 3 inches by 6 inches, on my back window and it's symtrical, it doesn't look like a robot is disassembalking itself on the side of my car like the evo in f&f2, dont worry.....

I think stickers up the side of the door can be over done, some are okay if you have the **** on your car. But most look retarded, i like stickers up the rear of the window in the middle, or like Blackbullet has his. I have 1 sticker, and 1 sticker only, thats the EMII crew sticker in the front left corner of my front windshield, nothing flashy, nothing rice, i like my **** clean.
