I have some decals along the side skirts, but that's about it. I only have silver decals, on silver paint. Everyone tells me that it's very subtle, and looks great.

Not the best angles, but you can see the H&R toward the front, and Comptech/Apex'i/AEM decals toward the rear.

Pure Adrenaline-

To each their own, but I personally think your car would look better w/o any vinyls at all

Its your car so you can do what you want, but IMO I think vinyl is way too messy. Keep it clean. Pure adrenaline's car looks good because its nice and simple

Headlights have been cleared out since. The front end looks ten times better. New pictures coming soon.

Brian and Michi -- Valid point, but I do like it the way it is now. Personally, the side skirts looked a bit empty, and I wanted to do something. Silver decals on silver car seemed like a good idea. They don't stand out too much, but they are there.



"Race on III" was a joke between me and my brother and is gone.

i don't like stickers that stand out. Pure Adrenaline, i think yours looks good, b/c it's "not too much"

Those vinyls look chopped. I agree: our car looks better without vinyls, guys.

35% 3M Titanium, but it came out darker than other 35% tints I've seen. I don't know why.
