Prepare to get flamed...

Personally, I don't believe in putting any on my car, but each his or her own

whoops I misvoted, wonder if Im alone here, but the title was decals? so I figured the poll would be yes or no to decals. hence I clicked no. but thats not what the poll question was.

the only sticker I have is my oil change sticker.everything else is just ugly, Ive never seen decals that improved a cars appearance.

of course if they were sponsers Id put them on. I have actually always had a practice of selecting a small decal if provided with one by the manufacturer of a part I had, and putting it in a non obtrusive spot. they worked and provided me with the item that I liked enough to use, they should get credit.

Sport them if you're getting paid for it. Otherwise, whats the sense in free advertisment? Why don't you just put a domino's pizza sticker on your car.

Clean, no stickers. No need to brag or advertise unless it's a business write-off/advertisement

I dont think a simple Nismo or JDM Fairlady Z decal are anywhere near the word "ricey"(what ever the hell it means anyways). So I say it depends.

Stickers on your car... If you happen to really love you K&N air filter, put a sticker on your car, might be tacky, but not ricey. If you put a "Type-R" logo on your car, that's rice.

Fairlady emblem somewhere on your car, again not in the best of taste (what can I say I am a purist here) but not rice. TRD sticker on the window of your Z? Your car has more rice than Uncle Ben.

Still don't know what rice is? here is a pic I took while driving my Z around. This picture is the 1000 word definition of rice.

Please note the 14inch stock tires, the ABS tupperware plastic fin, and the body kit. Not pictured here are the 2 6 inch fog lights mounted in the front grill, presumably to decrease airflow.

Here are a few specs for this car.

1999 Mitsubishi Mirage Coupe Model DE

Inline 1.5L 4 cyl engine.
92 HP @ 5500 RPM
93 Ft lbs torque @ 3000 RPM
FWD
