To the OP, the only decal that would be acceptable for you is Club Lexus..btw i wouldn't advertise with a sticker that I have audio equipment in my car..that's just an invitation to get jacked in public..

Quite simply, putting stickers/decals on your car is a way of trying to fool people into thinking that your ride is so tight that it must be sponsored. Usually you can tell right away the sponsored cars vs non-sponsored. Regular cars with stickers just look like they're trying too hard.

I don't think decals rice up a car, if they are done tastefully.

I have a small 6 inch Club Lexus sticker in the center of my rear window.

I also have a small 11 inch long " THREE SIXTY | FORGED " decal on my rear door windows, placed at the bottom. You can kinda see them in this pic:




And those are the only decals I have, or plan on having.

I don't feel you have to get paid by a company to have to "advertise" them. What if you just truly respect and don't mind representing said company?

Thats the case with me and 360 Forged. Alain (owner of 360) is probably the the best, most upright guy I've ever dealt with in the Miami wheel scene. He went out of his way to make a wrong right, when it wasn't even his mistake. Then hooked me up on a killer deal to make up for the wrong. Straight up awsome guy/company.

So for that, and also becaues I'm proud to be spinning $5K wheels, I rock the decals.

But placement, color, and all that... all these things can make them either look rice, or tastefull.

You, most likely, would just want them on your car for attention...

i doubt you have an agreement with these companies, but really, why does it matter what i think? its your car, do what you want to it. all i was stating was that decals cry for attention...which unless you're getting paid for the attention, then its okay cuz you're obligated to get attention.

Here is a more close up shot. My reasons for having this, IMO tastefully added decal are in the above post:

Chis, I'm a bit confused... cry for attention? Don't you have your "Altered Alliance", or someting along those lines (your car company) all over your windshield?
