Do you put aftermarket company decals on your car? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

240SX21 · 03-22-2002, 09:16 PM

Just curious on what you guys do.  I am still deciding whether or not to stick decals on my car.

240meowth · 03-23-2002, 03:03 AM

ahh, well, i only got 1 sticker so far, and it's from my front n rear strut bar.  and i really don't like "Piolt Motorsports" on my car..... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

*ca18guy* · 03-23-2002, 06:09 AM

I put a K&N sticker in my engine bay once, thats about it, never where people see it.  Decals take away from the lines of a car and I'm not giving free advertisement unless I got the shit for free. Which would'nt happen cause I hate decals enough that I'd rather pay for a product over being forced to put a decal on my car.

*SaintlyCharBoy* · 03-23-2002, 01:12 PM

personally i think the stickers all over the place break up the lines of a car, and, since we all love really clean cars forget the stickers

Two40 SX · 03-23-2002, 09:13 PM

If it's a product I feel is really good i'll do a little free advertising for the company. Like KYB AGX shocks. I love them mofo's.

tnord · 03-25-2002, 09:47 AM

wow......looks like i'm alone on this one

decals can look good when done properly. take a look at some of my pics and i think some of you might change your mind, then again maybe not.

silvia240 · 03-29-2002, 06:35 AM

i agree with tnord, properly done, they look good.
but with advertising a company, if i dont get the product free or extremely cheap, why would you want to advertise?
I say hell NO!!!!

dude i can't wait to get magnetic sheets for my # and class.... and then the plan is to use blank magnetic sheets and stick the stickers on there.  instant rice!! w000t w00t

DrLove82 · 05-06-2002, 06:51 PM

I tend to follow the "a few can be tasteful" train of thought, but I usually don't bother to put them on the exterior.  Most of the time, I'll stick them on the bottom side of the trunk lid (its what my dad did with his mustang back in the day) or stick em on the old toolbox   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/satisfied.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':satisfied:'>

Sick240 · 05-08-2002, 10:17 PM

the only 2 that I have are little 2"x3" eibach springs stickers, one on each front fender, and the only reason I put them on is because my car is offwhite, and they are white, so its sort of like Ghost Decals <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I think it looks nice tnord...but usually only on a car thats either black or white.

I don't plan to ever put stickers on my car...

s13cruzer · 05-16-2002, 09:59 AM

yeah i think a tastefully placed sticker can look good but i wouldn't do it (just my opinion) i just put my stickers on my toolbox they look better there

rotaryknight · 05-17-2002, 03:41 PM

Yea I do but I'm on contract to.

nrcooled · 05-28-2002, 02:06 PM

We in VA like to call them "steal me stickers". It's already bad enough I have spent so much money on my car but to tell everyone that I did is pretty much like asking someone to steal the damn thing. Plus I like the sleeper look that I have right now. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'> With the large tuning population in VA that in its self already increases the probability of theft then to advertise it is just like letting the theifs window shop <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

edit: I think the stickers on tnord's ride look good but they are tastefully done and not a lot of people do it like his and completely over do it (just looking for the mad hp gains)
