eh, detract from the car, instead of adding to it.

you want a person to say nice car or nice decals/paintjob?

To be completely honest I think it just KILLS the car. It gives it that riceboy look. And no matter how nicely done looks cheezy. Just my opinion. Even kits can kill your Z but Konverter I wouldnt mind your spoiler at all. By the way how is Chi town treating you. I miss it there.

Looks good on showcars... it has it's place at an event. But I wouldn't drive around with it.

ANY stickers make it look cheap IMO. As an example, imagine a new ferrari or porsche with graphics down the side.

anyone here know where decals on cars originated from?

now I may be wrong but the first I heard of them was in the 70s when detroit started putting the trademark hawks and the like on there. they did it in response to emmisions standards that were robbing them of their hp; so it was an attempt at making the car APPEAR fast since they were unable to make them as fast.

hmmm....
