Recently got some stickers, please give me some advises on these, does it look weird or stupid? hahaha

e82m_van · 11-10-2012, 04:28 AM

Stickers aren't bad.
I think th positioning could be a little better though. It looks like it's a little too "in your face" to people looking at it. Try putting it lower closer to the side skirts.
If not, even try putting them on the side skirt
Or your rear passenger window

Your frozen VO is a beautiful color. You don't want decals to take the enter of the attention.
In the end, just my opinion

fi5er · 11-10-2012, 05:22 AM

Love the frozen VO paint job. IMHO, VO is a hard color to match in terms of having any other colored accents( stickers/ calipers / rims etc) apart from black..

Maybe you can try a subtle approach. Use a gloss transparent sticker to make the decals appear gloss vo on a matte vo surface.

I've done this on my matte gray car b4 and use gloss film for the decals. Subtle without having to introduce another color

.

Try to get some pics up later. Nice car BTW.

Cheers!

eeghie · 11-10-2012, 05:34 AM

Is that a custom clear coat or a wrap? If wrap, what brand and color number is that?

On the stickers location, agree with e82m_van to keep em low or closer to and around the wheel wells like you have now. But what the heck, its your car, go crazy, do what ever YOU like!

1'M Blue · 11-10-2012, 06:12 AM

Meh, its a personal preference I suppose.. if you wanna showoff the bits and peices you have from each company its a nice touch but otherwise no ones sponsering you

... IMO its nicer to have a clean looking car without any hastle looking stickers disrupting the car's bodylines.

Tuned1M · 11-10-2012, 09:08 AM

I would put them on the front quarter panel starting at the lowest point and working your way up. Need more pics of the car and this frozen wrap job too!

shichen · 11-10-2012, 10:46 AM

Thx all u guys great opinions,
These stickers comes with the mod items I ordered, I was gonna have them recut with local grey color film
, but I changed my mind n left the original stickers n put them on the right side of the body
Yeah, u r right... I don't want to show off just want a little dif color with the Matt VO , n besides, the only sponsor is myself!!! Hahaha
I will post more foto of the car
Btw, this is a clear Matt wrap, not pain job, FYI!

I have to agree with this. If you really want to promote your sponsors, I'd use the rear window for that.

shichen · 11-10-2012, 10:27 PM

really? is it that bad? omg~

EINSER M · 11-10-2012, 11:44 PM

LOVE the frozen VO btw

Artemis · 11-11-2012, 08:07 AM

As some indicated: if you want to keep those decal tattoos, lower these a bit further down, closer to the horizontal line above the side skirt (not exceeding the highest point of the wheel arch and not on the wheel arch itself).

Discreet alternative: inside the rear window.

Looks both weird and stupid to me. Unless those companies were paying me to advertise them on my car I would remove them. That being said, it's all a matter of personal taste so do what you like.

Papethova · 11-11-2012, 02:53 PM

Sorry wrong placement and for that placement they are the wrong color and size.

I dont even think theyre lined up straight... the ER looks crooked in that second pic

minigearhead · 11-11-2012, 03:47 PM

dont like the er sticker because it blends too much with the vo, only get black or white stickers, maybe an outline of the nurburgring

RimasRS · 11-11-2012, 04:11 PM

What is wrong with you guys can't you stop when car looks just beautiful why do you need those stickers put them on inner side of the hood if you want to see them sometimes.

Einser M different story it's his full car style...

Ian///M · 11-11-2012, 04:30 PM

If a race or serious track car, then decals, else no go IMO

Aussie_in_London · 11-11-2012, 04:40 PM

Ditch, the car looks great as is, don't be wrecking the look with what looks like randomly thrown on stickers.....
