Putting decals on your car - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Sublime1304 · 09-11-2010, 04:38 PM

I'm curious about how some people feel about putting company vinyls and decals on your car if you have a part by that company. For instance, I have an aem intake and they send you two vinyls and I put one on my back windshield on the bottom. Just for the purpose of letting people know what I'm using. What is considered too much and too obnoxious? Who likes doing it and who doesn't? Personally I don't see a problem advertising for a company whose parts I use. Just curious what others think. No bull**** please just asking a simple question

I wouldnt do it unless I was sponsored by the company. Ive done it in the past on my old xB, but the only decals on my new xb are on the air tank, which no one sees unless I show them.

For electronics, using vinyl's on your car is dumb, its like a shopping list to thieves.

This.
I modify my car for me, and myself alone. I support companies that I select based on my criteria and the fact that the parts make it onto my cars in general shows that I support them. I'll rock shirts, or other apparell, but the stickers, if they're free, just end up on my toolbox or on I give them to my brothers.

Foolinaround · 09-12-2010, 11:05 AM

I put stickers that dont have to do with parts on the windows,my parts list is all on the lid above my trunk mount

white boy · 09-12-2010, 11:25 AM

i think to each is own, if you like it, do it and screw what people think or say....

ASIAN JUL · 09-12-2010, 11:37 AM

I have definitely seen people that are excessive with their stickers but if you want to, why not? We send stickers with all of our products. Nothing wrong with being proud.

JSpecV03 · 09-12-2010, 11:45 AM

if there stickers for items that are stolen all the time example, hondata chipped ecu's, i wouldnt do it at all. fatlace or that stance crap and all those stickers are fine.

Agreed.

DownforceTom · 09-12-2010, 02:54 PM

P.s. I know the dc sticker is backwards and thats not all of my stickers.

Chris B. · 09-12-2010, 03:02 PM

The only time I put stickers on my car was when the company was sponsoring me or my car for racing or it was a automotive related business owned by a friend.

jspek · 09-12-2010, 03:18 PM

only product sticker i put on my car is the one i got from stance. everything else is for my enjoyment.

20tibby07 · 09-12-2010, 03:19 PM

I don't see a problem in people covering there cars with all of these different companies or anything, but on my own car I would more likely not go with the previously stated "shopping list"

jpalamar · 09-12-2010, 06:44 PM

If they aren't paying you, it is dumb to put an advertisment on your car.

evomike · 09-12-2010, 06:48 PM

Unless I'm paid for it to be there or it's a friends company it won't touch my car.

delphinE30 · 09-12-2010, 07:20 PM

ive gone to a show and had a friend/business owner come up to me and say hey put this sticker on your windshield for me. so i said ok. my car got on some websites and if people saw his name...hey, maybe it got him some business who knows. i only put a few on in certain spots to add a little touch of style. usually just as business's name though.
its whatever people have their own style which is cool
