Off or on?

Post by ajflan »

I've been tossing around the idea of removing my stickers, but I can't decide. Should I keep them as they are, or should I go for the nice clean look?Here are the stickers...

To be honest,I didn't like them when I first saw them.But they have grown on me,the Cosmo one I really like now.It sets your Vibe apart from the rest.Leave them.

Personally I like a clean look, that is why all my emblems are off. Why take the emblems off and the have stickers on there? But it is your car.

Woohoo I broke the tie!! I'm not usually a big fan of stickers and decals all over. But yours are tastefully done, not in bad spots, and the Tein one especially looks good!

Today I noticed that the red in the badge on the back was faded, so I removed the red so the words Cosmo and Racing are both brushed aluminum now. I did that for both, and I like how they look now. I'll post a couple pics 2marrow when the sun is out.

after looking at the comparison pic I think I have to swap my vote. I originally vote to leave them but I think I like it better w/o nowif you do end up taking them off maybe you could do some pin striping or something...?

If I do leave them on, I will get a white Borla sticker and put in the rear window. I think that the black one looks lonley down there. I originally planned on having all the stickers run along the bottom where the borla sticker is, but that was the only black sticker I could get.

Here are the Cosmo badges that I would leave on regardless. The back one started to fade, so I took off the red paint from both.Before:After:Back:

I actually used an exacto knife and a lot of patience. It took a while, but it came out really good.

There was no vote for a "50/50 split". I like the window ones, but I'd say lose the ones on the body.

Well, since this post was started, the borla on the body has been removed and replaced by one in the window with the others. And once i get the body kit installed, i will have the window ones removed and in place of them have small stickers representing the custom shop where i will have the kit installed.

Yep got the kit. He ended up finding the hardware for the front extensions and the instructions for everything. So hopefully as soon as I get my tax returns I will be taking it to this custom car shop near my house where I will have them paint and install it for me. I just don't feel like installing it myself. Besides, they are not going to charge that much extra to install it for me.

I would get a one color roll call going for your car, it may help with the clean look your looking for. I removed my badges and the stripe I had in my car...looks cleaner.
