what is it with every car that loves the magazine superstreet, or has been featured in it goes ape____ with the stickers!!?? I just dont get it, there is this early 90s ford probe that drives around joliet, its the turbo charged one and its ___ as hell, and he has a sticker on every part of the car. You can hardly see paint on it anymore! Am I missing something?

i can tell youve never been sponsored for anything. a lot of them require you to have stickers and decals representing the company. easy as that. most of them are required

well kind of figured that, but then again that probe around my house is more than likely unsponsored....lol. I am just saying those stickers are insane, you might as well put stickers on your nut sack if ur sponsored too then, right? Well only if they asked you too.

who needs a supercharger when you've got all that VINYL? mmmm. the stickers alone add like, 50hp... at least.

And YES - I do hear what what said about sponsorships. See those teeny teeny red stickers along the side skirt and the front quarter? those are sponsored. You see the obnoxious ones - the 33, the overdose logo on the side, and a repeat of the same overdose logo on the rear quarter glass? not sponsored. no excuse.

Ok, sure, guy wants to pimp his site. ok np. that doesnt' mean it has to be as distastefully done as his site.

Maybe I am wrong. Maybe I should take on the 30 degree "dive force" cannards? the ricer wing? the carbon fiber sticker on the gas door? how bout the tasteful juxtaposition of interior DVD players and exposed tubular rollcage?

And yes, very impressive to get a full spread in a magazine. two claps.

Ok, so, to each his own.

yea i dont like it either. you do notice the 33 on the side and the Overdone (his company) logo though.... enough said. He just sold you on it by you recognizing the name. You may not get a part, but you saw the name and thats what matters in advertising. (Im an advertising specialist and it is going to be worked into my minor with business)

Wow, that's the ugliest, most tasteless most riced out box I've ever seen.

I'll give him $150 for it.
I'll take the supercharger, exhaust, and CF pieces and sell the rest

I've never really understood the whole sticker fad. It reminds me of the time when I was driving down the road and some old junker had every bumper sticker you could ever think of plastered all over the car, I mean the paint had become the bumper stickers...or the bumper stickers had become the paint. Anyhow all those logos really make the car look tacky.

I prefer the clean look.

People are starting to be real ridiculous with the prices of these xB's. That is exaclty why it is on a 10 day listing with 2 days left and not 1 single bid.

Sixty thousand dollars on that car?

Bull Droppings

Let's be generous:

$4k for the supercharger
$2k for everything else in the drivetrain
$3k for the brakes
$4k for wheels (motegi?) and suspension
$10k for ICE and all that exterior hideousness

Maybe if they went through a couple xBs before this one.
