No, if someone told you that.. Thats a lie..... Only Skyline stickers make more hp..... If you want more than 50whp on your Z, buy a huge SKYLINE sticker........... that will get you 100hp per letter.....

Stickers are never needed for any car whatsoever, unless that company(s) is paying you to do so. Other than that, might as well hand over the keys to thieves since they already have an idea whatcha got.

Dude, I sense a little sarcasm?

Oh, add more photos to your album and try shooting during the day and then try the night shots.

BTW, white is a cool classic color. Best left clean, from your hidden message, you know what I mean.

Guys its not just about the added hp. Its the location. The aerodyamics of the stickers are where the gains come through. Stickers produce 50hp by default...but if you place a sticker on your windshield, instead of, say, the bumper, you get an additional 12hp on top of the 50. Also, additional gains are only noticable when placed on the side, if they are on BOTH sides of the car. My dyno showed an impressive 77whp gain when placing an identical sticker on my driver's side. I got no gains by doing only half the mod, man was I stupid. My friends were laughing for weeks.

well if you are sponsored and didnt pay "retail" of course you would put a sticker. but i think stickers should be isolated to the hood not the body

Stickers help the clearcoat stay stuck to the paint. Adhesion promotion FTW!

the length of the sticker determines the power put down to the wheels. the my350z.com sticker puts down 100rwhp and gets you more *** than a toilet seat....trust me i raped ferraris when i got that sticker and dated carmen electra.
