The same as I feel about fart cans, underbody neon, and Altezza's on something other than an Altezza.

If it's small and doesn't take away too much from the look of the car but I wouldn't put them on mine.

If I saw you in a gas station with decals on a SC...I would totally make fun of you!!!

Dude, your car is nice...leave it alone.

If it's not too oversized and placed on the sideskirt. I could see it work with the car.

If it's a sponsor sticker I approve.
If it's a sticker for a car club you belong to I approve.

Otherwise,

If he's doing the work for free...Then you can advertise for him for free.

I think decals are ok. I had one on my Subie for a car club I was in. I think they give more to a car, call me a ricer I don't care. I think on a car as long as the SC it gets boring towards the end. I would put some decals on the sideskirt and maybe right above on the door. Nothing to flashy. A friend of mine had a bucnch of sponsers and he had one big sheet made with about 11 companys on it, all the same color and size. It looked really clean IMO.

I personally do not feel that decals belong on any Lexus that ever hits the streets. If you have an AWD IS for rally racing or something, let the sponsors deck out your car. But, if you have a street SC, keep it classy.
