Despite both being a member on here as well as owning a tC since 2006, I've fallen out of the loop with the new trends ever since I got a bike a year ago. Call me a noob if you want, but a question is a question. What exactly is the whole "sticker bomb/stickerbomb" deal?

 

Its not really a new trends its just moved itself onto car parts.
take a sh_t load of stickers place them all over a part clear it <-- sticker bomb.

Looks great on front lips, some interior pieces just people being creative!

 

Take a load of random stickers and put it all over a part so all you see is stickers. Some, wait, very few are actually decent looking. Most of the time it looks like crap.

 

it is by far one of the stupidest things i have ever seen... almost as stupid as rusting your hood on purpose... just a poor mans fad... let it go

 

Check out my thread

Tcpete I dont think its a poor mans fab...i spent over $250 in stickers and I sold my rs1cf lip kit to start this protect, its a style thats all...if you do it right it looks good

 

yea i think it look kinda bad like pic a sticker or two not a massive amount lol i still decided wat sticker to get to on my car

 

Gotcha, thanks guys. There's a red M3 around here that has his front lip sticker bomb'd. But up til now I thought it was some crazy sort of paint job. I kind of like it, personally.

 

^ its all personal preference there's really no right or wrong just like the crazy colored stock wheels.

 

so you spent over $250 on stickers most ppl get for free from buying normal stuff they'd collect or pick up at a mall or clothing shop?!?!?

amazing

 

Words cannot describe the level of stupidity right here.

 

I don't know... I think rusting a body panel (I've seen more than hoods) has to be one of the most retarded things I've ever seen. Purposely damaging a part of a car? No thanks.

Not that I'm defending sticker bombs (I've seen a couple look OK but don't really get the rest of them)... but the rust thing is just so far beyond my comprehension that I really want to slam my head against a wall when I try to think about it.

 

Hellaflush is dumber. They completely ruin the dynamics of the vehicle, they put tons of stress on the suspension components of the vehicle and intentionally damage the vehicle, all so their car can look like is has broken axles.

 

i agree. i think sticker bombing looks good and requires purposeful planning. its not as easy as slapping on a bunch of random stickers. thats like saying painting a car is simply sraying it with a bunch of rattle cans. sticker bombing requires the right stickers with intentional placement. i wouldnt sticker bomb my car, but I can appreciate it (this coming from a guy who spray painted pandas all over his hood).

people are paying big bucks (for stickers in my opinion) for limited edition custom stickers. its similar to the limited quantity of certain brand t-shirts or Nike shoes (which I also dont partake in). internet meme themed stickers are probably the biggest hit right now.

 

stickerbomb is for followers, same with hellaflush and people who rock those stupid mustard yellow ROTA's. dont be a follower, be original, be unique .....isnt that what scion is all about? lol@ fools that commit to these lame fads.

my personal preference when modding a car would be, some power adders, a unique set of rims, some carbon fiber here and there, interior modified somewhat visually, and a upgrade to the stereo system. jus keep it simple

 

This is the smartest thing you have ever said.

 

^ this x1000

It belongs on honda forums, please don't do it

 

ITT: more trend bashing.

move along.

 

hhaha trend bashing? im guessing you rock hellaflush stickerbombs huh ahhahaa

hey someone should post a pic of intentional rusting of parts, I cant seem to find words to google it with...what do I type in "idiot who decides to rust his hood to become jdm level 3?"

 

Personally I like the sticker bombed theme (won't do it 2 my car) and the hellaflush look (Also won't do 2 my car). But Rusted hoods on the other hand..Smh "Fail"..lol

 

That's your searching problem, it isn't a JDM thing, it's a Eurotrash thing.
