Default Vinyl Tackiness Questions

Ok so i liked the slogan Drive Slow, Park Hard on the forums and i was wondering if getting vinyl lettering and putting it up and down on my rear windshield would be tacky. Also would the rear defroster ruin the vinyl or would it be good

I think it'll look tacky, but it's your car, so if you like it, you should go for it.

about the defroster question: i dont know i have no need to run the defroster

about the slogan: do it, if you dont like it you can always peel it off, making stickers are cheep...

my opinion: if you're gonna put something like that on your car, i hope your car lives up to that slogan.. think of all those guys you see driving around rockin hellaflush stickers on their NON hellaflush cars...

defroster will not effect the decal...the sun gets hotter and is a lot more punishing....if you do it in a suble font...i think it would look good~ imo

I wouldn't do it. I see people with slogan and stickers on their car, I just roll my eyes.

Do it if you want, it's your car. But the fact that you had to ask, I think you knew what the answer was
