Default Opinions on a sticker. ^.^

http://www.stanceiseverything.com/wp...9/06/nofat.jpg

Next week, I'm having my new wheels put on and I'm dumping my IS350 to the floor. I'm also planning on getting a StanceNation's Daily Driven sticker along with the Vertex front/sides anda GFX rear.

Lemme get some honest opinions. If you guys randomly saw a dumped IS with that no fat chicks sticker on it, would you guys hate on it/key it/do some ****, or would you guys simply laugh and say: That guy has a sense of humor. Haha. I'm just wondering cause my friends and I have been debating about this - not tryna have my car keyed, but I'm tryna have a little fun. :]

Also, I had a question of putting die cut stickers on. You guys place the sticker on the inside of the car, right? If I were to get my windows tinted later, would I have to take the sticker off...?

Thanks!

The real question should be:

"Does it add horsepower?"

I've seen dynos with about +15 rwhp.

I think it's mainly from the weight reduction. >;]

I personally don't like stickers on my car. I don't even think when I have a kid I'll have those "My kid is an honor student at blah school"... if I were to have 1 sticker on my car it'd be a "I support the LAPD" sticker or something in regards to donating to the 5-0... I hear those get you out of tickets...

I personally don't care for stickers. My car has a Chicago Cubs sticker in the rear window that was on it when I bought it(prior owner was from Illinois). I've been planning to take it off for the past 5 months, but i'm a terrible procrastinator.

I've got an Impeach Obama sticker somewhere that I've toyed with the idea of putting on.......mainly to troll my best friend.

That sticker was funny 3 years ago. Now, not so much.

I'd never put stickers on my own cars, but if you're into it I think I'd pick something a bit more fresh.

well said Dave. I have to agree 100%

There is no way in hell I would ever put a sticker on the body of the car. I probably wouldnt do anything even on the glass.

I think the no fat-chicks sticker is still funny, but I can see it gettting some hate from fat chicks...haha. Personally I would not risk it on my car.
