Decal Placement

[Fotowntalon]

So I have a ton of decals & stickers, Apexi, Greddy, Crower Cams, Eibach, MSD etc, and now the question comes where to place them at. I want to keep things clean looking and try to avoid to much rice, yet I also feel a need to display them.

I dislike the rear quarter panel cluster, so have been thinking of beneath the doors making like a trim, on the rear windows (i have seen this done with great sucess yet there are normally only 1-2 decals), or possibly under the hood. Where do you guys put your decals?

I have only two decals and its the DSMtuners.com decal and it on the little windows by the back of the car. Other than that no decals for me, why display what you have in your car to everyone thats how I feel about it but its your car and your decisions. If you put them under the hood If you have a strut bar I would put them on there.

If you really feel the need to put them on your car, I would stick them on the underside of the hood if it was me.

I also just slap them on the underside of my hood.

If you must put them on your car, the underside of the hood works best. If you want your car to be clean, put them on your toolbox or walls of the garage. Putting them outside the car to advertise is just making a shopping list for a thief. Take you own chances there.

I'm actually kind of interested in this topic as I have some decals I have to put on the exterior of my car.

Man i say all down the center of your hood. Down the driver side of your front windshield and all on the rear window. Seriously you cant pick a spot on your own? I put stickers on my toolbox. Then again it would be nice stealing a car when you know the goodies it has. Goodluck!!

Thieves would be disappointed if they went by that in my town....

decals are tacky and ricer. please put them on your tool box. but if you insist then underside of the hood is my opinion

 

[Defiant]

Put them on your toolbox, or on your shower door. Keep that crap off your car. Besides, cops notice them.

Thanks for everyones input, so far I think I will put them on the inside of the hood, possibly 1 or 2 on the rear windows, like the DSMTuners one which seems to be a popular option.

I am worried about theives in my town, although people dont steal cars in my town they love to break into them, and do to the IQ of my town I could sadly see my car being broke into in hopes of stealing "cams" or something dumb like that. Dumb criminals but I rather have my car be left alone, already had 2 cases of vandalism on my baby

So thanks all, Maybe I'll show some pics when I am done putting them up. I think the decals on the inside of the hood could save my from doing a lot of talking when explaining to a friend what all I have done to it when I pop the hood

Hope this thread also helps some other people when questioning this decision.

if you feel the need, put them under the hood or like some guys have said, put them on your tool boxes

I have an arp sticker on the driver side back window, it doesn't look to bad and I don't think it looks ricer... Never have gotten pulled over either...

 

[rock1t]

Never knew you could fit that much rice into DSM's. Might as well put a honduh sticker on it to.

 

[vanilla gorilla]

As long as you have the parts to back up the decals....its not rice.

 

[stevestevesteve]

true that, buy anyone find a cool turbo decal like the ones on ebay but they are for the evo...

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

personally, if i dont stick it on a tool box or something in the garage, my next favorite place to put decals and stickers are..

Exactly, I have them on the rear windows and every sticker has a part to back it up.

Besides let them think that I'm a poser then when I waste them at the track they will think twice to talk crap. You can make it look clean without making it rice. Besides this is coming from the "how do vent to the atmosphere to make my BOV louder" capital of the world.

I'm missing my Fidanza one.

Haha, thanks. My DD may be a honda but I have to represent where the heart is at.

 

[LandoAWD]

I place each one carefully...



...in a box in my closet.

I you want to put stickers on your car, I would get them done all in the same font and size and put them along the front of the doors on the fenders. Looks cleans and nice. similar to the civic but get the done all the same size.

 

[Bud92gsx]

In the trash or under your hood if you want the "clean" look..I used to have stickers on my carwindows too, but one day I got pissed off and removed all og them..I'm much happier now..

 

[94MightyMax]

I like them on the doors behind the wheel wells. In that area looks best to me but to each their own. Under the hood is a good option as well
