I usually dont like "sticker tuned" cars but yours is tastefully and agressivly styled to match which makes it very nice an unique! Its hard to not make the car look "rise" with a lot of mods and graphics on, but you have pulled it off nicely!
I would suggest to go with subtle sponsor stickers (just like how you done it currently) and do some new flash/flamish patterns in also subtle color (again like you have but with some different pattern).
Best of luck with your project!

Yes you pretty much need something, unless all your body panels are made out of Carbon Fiber or something.... You need to be able to distinguish your car from the run-of-the-mill modified car. It has to be distinctly unique. There are certain things you really need in order to win shows, just like you have to have ICE and you have to have some engine mods...
The idea is to have an entire package to be the winner in a show. Some guys get custom paint for their cars, others of us without the funds to drop $5 k on a new paint job every year, can put graphics on to make the car stand out and be distinctive in the crowd.
There are exceptions to this rule of course. There is no hard fast rule that says you HAVE to have new paint or graphics, but it helps give you more points and win the judges over.
At least this is my understanding of how it works, I will be able to tell more after the first couple of shows this year.

yup.. your are spot on there Brent. I will still be showing the car this year, but as you know I'll be tracking her more.. and entering her into a few ameture drift events.... so .. she'll still be in the public eye.
I think that this Poll has really helped me in my delema... Tomorrow night.. I'm going to strip the remaining graphics off the car, and run with it for a little bit.
at least until I can come up with a new, unique design.

Edit: Yes of course I was referring to the car being nekid, who the heck wants to see Mike in all his glory (well, sort of... remember it will be like 40 out... can we say shrinkage...) with his marbles and p-shooter hanging out...

OK guys .. consider the poll closed...
I have taken the majority vote, and spent this evening in the garage removing all of the graphics from my car.
Pictures will be posted tomorrow!
Thanks for everyone who participated in the poll, and offered advice!
