Default Permanent Raised Rubber Tire Lettering Decals

I dropped off my car today at the Tire Stickers shop in Van Nuys, CA and had them install the permanent raised rubber tire lettering decals on my tires in White.

Love how it turned out!!!

Juan, that looks great and kind of "old school" at the same time.

Back in the mid 70's most of the major tire companies offered raised white letter on their tires; I had a set of Goodyear radials with raised white letters and always liked that look.... Seems now that is passé and rarely done with the large wheels and small side walls we run today....

Must say, it is something to think about. I have to assume they have these for Falkens?

Those are stickers, not paint?

I have the same rear tires. After getting them, I saw they were among the top rated bang for the buck options for Mustangs. Which is fitting because I have them on Mustang wheels. And also fitting because I added Sumitomo (LS400) front brakes, as did you, although I'm only assuming it's the same company by name.

It's not paint. They are rubber cut outs that are then glued directly onto the tire. Permanent thing.

Example:

Duck,
They can make pretty much anything. Google tire stickers com for more info. That's the name of the shop.

I love your car, but I gotta say I hate the look with the white letters.

White lettering looks good with cars that have lip kits on them. Brings the car out more

I like it because the letters are small and subtle. Your car isn't a complete "race theme" vehicle, so it wouldn't make sense to install, lets say 4" IDLERS text on them lol. What did this cost if you don't mind me asking?

I went with the same size lettering that is on the tires from the manufacturer to give it original look. The new lettering is on top of the original lettering.

It cost $200 total with installation.

Not a fan at all.

White letters still look good on your pickup truck or your mullet-mobile 1978 Camaro with slot mags though.

Thanks. No rolling shots. I've been wanting to take some rolling shots for a while now but have not been able to have someone take them for me. Hopefully soon though!
