I'm looking for a decal...

I've actually been going for the no decal, clean look (aside from the tuners decal that is)....but i figure it might be kinda cool to have maybe a turbo decal like that "turbo inside" one or maybe the "objects in mirror are losing" one or even an AWD related one. I don't know. What do you guys think?...sport?

A subtle decal here and there won't hurt, but I believe these cars draw enough attention to them selves as it is.

Try driving around with no turbo in a red car. Everything from Chevy Luminas to Ford diesels think you are racing everywhere you go. I want some vanity plates that say "140 HP."

Just don't have one that takes up the whole back window or anything...I'd just have it maybe like 5" x 5" at the most or something.

Ha..BS. I've had my car for 2½ years now, and I've only gotten that 'Wanna race?' look a couple times. I'm also in Cali, mind you..home of the ricers.

I don't believe it when people on here say 'I always have people revving at me.....'. As long as they're stock looking, that is...people who have body kits & big wings, sure I believe it.

That's EXACTLY what i'm talking about. Something small, tastefull, and with some humor.

Some parts of the country are different. Some kid in an older Tahoe tried to get me to race last night and I'm as stock looking as they come.

That answers your question right there. A little different territory in Waco where a red Eclipse driver is someone who wants to be that dude from F & F and these cars are a somewhat rare sight (Especially a GS-T or GSX). I will take a vid cam w/ me on a typical day to display this unwanted attention if I get a chance. Tyler, TX where I lived before was no different. Dallas/Plano area wasn't quite as bad. Believe what you want, though. I never got this sort of unwanted attention with my RX-7 and my buddies bright yellow 350Z doesn't get this kind of attention, only thumbs up.

Edit: BTW, its true what they say about red cars - I never believed it, but I do now and I will never own one again.

Back on subject...
