as the title says, what are your thoughts on window stickers from a little to a lot?

I am all about the clean look. No stickers for me, not on the windows, not on the car, not anywhere.

the only stickers I put on is my sponsors, Scion Dynasty, and things I believe in. I try not to over do it. I like the clean look also. stickers go only on windows no body stickers.

Agreed.

The only thing that would change that for me, would be if it could help me score a few
extra points at car shows. I'm trying to avoid that by doing the best shine and show I can!!

I'm keeping it clean. No emblems, no stickers.

I do have a vinyl pinstripe, if that counts.

Everyone has thier own ideas on decals. The younger crowd seems to like them all around the rear windows. I have limited mine to under the hood, except for my SE club decal on rear window. At most shows you get extra points for having decals?

I have a big decal on my rear hatch glass.



That's about 15whp addition.

I like my stickers, I think they give the car a sportier look. And it advertises the mods I have done that you can't necessarily see.

Aside from the cleanliness, I don't like advertising that I have an item which a thief might think he needs more than I do.

I like to keep it clean as well, but I like to support - so I went w/ black vinyl on 20% tinted windows. unless the sun hits the glass right, you're not gonna see 'em. most people see them for the first time, from inside the car.

along the same lines, but off topic - I had my calipers painted orange. what was I thinking? I posted pics on here and I don't recall any negative comments. pee-uu. I re-paineted 'em flat black this weekend. much better.

clean and simple.

Nike swoosh? I can do one better. How about those civics that have the huge 'H' emblem in the back window? As if you're gonna look at it and go, "Hm... Wonder what kinda car that is... Oh! A honda emblem! Well, that clears everything up for me, I was confused there for a second." I went through the ricer stage with my accord for a while, then I realized how stupid it looked and got rid of all the stickers before anyone really noticed.

I feel the same way. It's basically a shopping list for thieves. The only stickers on the outside of my car is my club and scionlife.

I have one even better. There is a white mustang around my house that has a huge Batman symbol in his tint on the back glass. It goes from top to bottom and left to right. I keep saying I'm going to take a picture of it, but I keep forgetting to put my camera in my car.
