Vinyl Decals?

Tell me what you guys think about this. I'm thinking of getting a strip of decals down the side of my door, in preparation for a show next month. It's just a list of company names that I have parts from, I'm thinking of making it a gunmetal color so it will match the wheels and not stick out too much. Opinions?

Whatever floats your boat. For a show i'd says it's "ok" but i'd never add decals unless they were my actual sponsers. for everyday street driving i think it's gay though. why don't you just hand the cops a printed list of mods when they pull you over?

Haha, yeah I know. Kind of asking for trouble. It's mainly for the show, I'll probably be taking them off afterwards.

why do cops bust you for hsving mods? anyways, you should go with something that is slightly off from your paint scheme, kinda ghost. or white if your car is black.

Becuse some mods are illegale da.... and cops dont have anything better to do (so what if right next to you when you get pulld by the cops someone gets murderd you have a loud pipe! thats a nono!)

BTW i like the decels i like rice anyhow looks very nice only thing is i would put STI the first from above (looking at that i get flashbacks of the nissan skyline from 2 fast 2 furios).

Yeah, I don't need the extra attention from the cops since my cars a wee bit illegal. I'm leaning towards doing them for the show then taking them off afterwards. A member on another forum pointed out that if there are reps at the show and the see I'm sporting decals for their products they might be more inclined to give me some hookups. That's a long shot but I like the possibilty. By the way this is going to be for the Import Life show in Columbus, OH.

What do you guys think about these ideas? I think I like the rear window a bit.

I like your original idea w/ it on the door and in gunmetal. It's a bit much for the streets, but if it's kept simple, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

On the sides are nice. Don't let them go down to the sideskirts though, since that looks kinda funky. I don't really like the other ideas (hood and rear window).
Another option is to have them cascading at 45 degrees down the front windshield on the passenger side a la D1 Grand Prix car style.
