ok I know im opeing a can of worms however what does everyone think about side graphics on car. Im not talking about a giant chrome knight pointing at your tires, something subtile mabye like a small strip or something along those line..

I have some for of OCD im sure, I can never leave things the way the are for 2 long it freaks me out!.

the side of my car is very plain and since i have access to a 64" printer and plotter i figured why not?

let me know what you guys think!

do you mean pinstripes? They can look good depending on the color of the stripe/car and stripe design...generally beyond that, it would look a little ostentatious IMO...

soo see what happeneds when Im up at 5:00am..... anyway i think what im going to end up doing is painting my door guards ans the handles from black to color match!

that should calm the OCD for a while!

I think a nice painting of something is pretty cool. I am however completely against stickers or any single color tribal/fire crap.

while that is probably the single coolest thing on a car that i have see, i think that would only be nice on a higher end car, not my legacy!

IMO the cleaner the better. No decals, no pinstripes, nothing. I'd get rid of my door strips completely if I could without leaving a big groove in the door. I removed the door strips on my last 2 cars because they were just strips stuck on there with tape basically. Looked 100% better in both situations.

i <3 decals. call it rice or w/e (reason does cause hes a fag!) just kidding shane.

BUT if you do decals and nothing but visual upgrades i consider it ALL SHOW, NO GO. and thats what makes it rice IMO.

Aren't those the three banshee chicks from Van Helsing?

Speaking of stupid decals, I saw a Mitsi eclipse (the 90s version) with an "///AMG" logo pasted on the side with the other "iNJEN ALPINE" etc ingredient list. I have only two manufacturer decals on my car, but I actually got a discount on my parts so I figure I'm allowed to have them. :P
