Anybody put performance stickers on there car after they buy the product?
 
Just a general question, i was talkin like a flowmaster sticker and a K&N stick on the lower back window or something like that, i dont want it to look tacky but i think it would be kinda cool, anyone do it? regret it? like it? hate it? thanks

When I was 16 I put them in the windows. Now I put them on the toolbox. Nothing makes a car look cheap like a buch of stickers. Besides, why advertise to the thieves what they could get by stealing YOUR car?

Take care,
~Chris

Wasnt talkin like alot of stickers, some people have calvin pissin on stuff and other stuff, flowmaster gives stickers with products, theres a small set, a medium set, a large set, then theres that big *** bumper sticker, i was thinkin the large one not the huge *** bumper sticker one in the lower window with the K&N one above in out the way in the lower window

RBatson 08-24-2002 12:08 PM

My brother had a 72 mustang and he would put stickers on it. He would take some of the ones that came with the crap I ordered and stick those on his car too. I have a VORTECH window banner, had it for quite some time, that I'm about to remove. I have a K&N on my trash can and I have a few more I've been meaning to stick on there for a few years. I plan on having the fastest trash can on the block, heck it already is...:D

StoplightWarrior 08-24-2002 12:15 PM

When I was younger, I would put all my flowmaster and K&N filter stickers on my car...then I realized Flowmasters and a K&N filter were quite weak performance mods!! I put the Bassani Xhaust sticker on my back bumper, and IMO, it looks really good there...When I see a GT with flowmaster, K&N, Mac, ford motorsport, etc, etc littering the back window, I think it looks pretty tacky...IMO, one or two is ok if they are of quality parts.

shadowblue89 08-24-2002 01:02 PM

All of mine wind up being put on the tool box or the work bench. Except for the really nice one that says "D.S.S.". I have 2 of those and they are on my side windows.

The Fireman 08-24-2002 01:03 PM

I put the K&N one on my car. It's small so I figured what the heck. I put it on the very bottom of the back glass just above the trunk, so it wouldn't stand out too much. Alot of people put those stickers on where I'm from.

0h n0 5.0 08-24-2002 02:34 PM

i dunno, i used to be a sticker fiend..(look at my ol car), but since i got my Gt i've tried to clean up. the stickers seem to be an import thing, an unless your sponsors are on it, it eventually becomes riced out overkill an a super magnet for thieves... plus a headache an a half to remove that adhesive from vinyl stickers.

the guy who had the GT before me, put a huge gaudy blue oval sticker rite in the middle of the back windsield..while this might not mean much, who ever tinted the back glass FORGOT TO CLEAN IT BEFORE TINTING IT!so i've got this cheap lookin eyesore blocking my horizin line P.O.V and i've got a funked up grime underneath this tint... impossible to remove unless i take off an re-tint it. so everytime i back out i can't look out my rear and i have to roll down my drivers side window. not such a hassle except when its rainin or cold or a mixture of the two.

rite now i've got a flowmaser sticker under the hood on the lil metal support beam right where the hood prop is..but thats it

Rev 08-24-2002 02:34 PM

Under the hood
 
I put mine on under the hood. None are visible from the outside. No stickers for anything not actually there of course.

The Deuce 08-24-2002 02:51 PM

I don't put any on mine. The only ones I've seen that look really good are the 'Mr. Horespower' stickers on my buddies Chevelle. They are on the vent windows in front, and nobody really knows what they are about.

I might put one of those on when I rebuild a motor, because I'd get a Clay Smith cam, or two, or four. Other than that, the garage cabinets are great for that.

jj_jonathon 08-24-2002 02:58 PM

chris...

add a wing and those cabinets could beat a civic! :D

RBatson 08-24-2002 02:59 PM

You may have to give me the jump, Chris..

/me looks for a place to mount a fire extinguisher

andy669 08-24-2002 04:35 PM

I think a stickered up street car is ugly as hell, but a race car is a different story. You're sponsors should be properly represented, and you need to have the correct stickers to recieve your contingency money too (if available).

And don't forget to add your girlfriend's or Wife's name to your race cars.......HINT HINT!!

96_4.6 08-24-2002 05:51 PM

The whole "cluttered" word keeps coming up, i was askin if anyone would think one or two stickers is bad

Shelby428cj 08-24-2002 05:58 PM

Dang it 96_4.6 I don't think one or two would hurt at all!!! So go for it!! I have one or two on my 99!:p :p :p

See Ya,

I won't put any stickers on the exterior of my car, I'm thinking of sticking them on the inside of my trunk or something. Not sure yet. I got a few coming my way after I get my car back this weekend. I won't sick them on quite yet though. I know I have a bunch that my dad has stuck on the inside of the garage. =) I'll post a pic tommorow.

Here is a pic of my engine when I went to go see her today. I visit my car everyday at the shop. Anyone this obsessed about there car that they miss her and have to go see her to make sure she is fine?

Please be kind, I know the inside of the engine is alittle dirty, but she will be cleaned when she returns. =) I'm having the inner fenderwalls replaced and painted gloss black so it'll look alot cleaner come next summer.

Crazy Horse GT 08-25-2002 12:19 AM

doh! i forgot, i stick most of my mid size sticker's under the hood, on top of the radiator shroud, forgive me, lol. :D

Shelby428cj 08-25-2002 11:48 AM

WOW Marty if MW stickers can add 100hp imagine what those R stickers can do!!!!:p

Tod 08-25-2002 11:01 PM

i've got a 1 inch "BBK performance" on my quarter window if anyone cares. other than that, it's just the "Mustang" banner on the top of the windshield. I might just have to put the ATI supercharger sticker on should i find one under my hood someday :). that and the car club sticker me and a buddy are currently working on.

look at the cover car on the new MM&FF mag (the white Cobra with the blue graphics to clear up any confusion), i think those performance labels on the bottom under the doors look pretty cool.

I think it keeps coming up because you don't really notice one or two stickers. The cars that come to my mind have a dozen or so all over the place.

Go minimal, so people who pay attention will have an idea of what you have. I think of cars like playing poker, you only show your hand if you're called.

84LX89GT 08-27-2002 06:41 PM

I don't like manufacturers stickers on a car. I don't like bumper stickers either. I don't even put the certified 50 state legal emissions sticker that products come with on my car.
I wish that sponsors would pay regardless of whether the sticker is on the car or not because i think it makes professional race cars look like crap (except nascar because every car is the same, so it gives some character to them), but not drag race cars or road race cars.
Stickers in my opinion, as chris said, is like putting an advertisement on your car, unfortunately it can advertise to some bad people. that's just what i think, though.

That is where I have my performance stickers, on the fan shroud. A Holley performance for my fuel pump, March for the pullies, and a Flowmaster sticker for the 3 chambers I used to have. I really need to take the Flowmaster one off now, but I don't really care too much, because no body sees it.

On the outside I have a small 3" diameter Dale Earnhardt #3 on the right top of my rear window. A small running Pony(9" by 4") at the top of the rear window and a Michigan Tech sticker right under the Pony. They all look really tastefull, IMO, but it did look the cleanest when I only had the small white running horse on the back.

That's exactly what I told him too LOL :D I did it on the V6, but I wouldn't be caught dead with them now...when I see a car with those decals on, I just assume its stock save an air filter and exhaust ;)

I think they are referring to your stickers as clutter PERIOD ;)

induction 08-27-2002 07:39 PM

Sorry guys no stickers for me. The only "performance" sitcker I have is a 1.5 X 3" oval (with a magnet on the back )That says, "DEAL WITH IT!" Its sits on my dashboard as a reminder . When I get fed up with piss-poor drivers I refer to the little sticker and smok'em!!
:D
