Post Help me out, come in and vote.

A couple of days ago, a guy had visited my website and said he liked my car, but he asked me what the f*** I was doing putting on the Comptech red sticker on my car.

I'll let you guys vote if I should take the stickers off on the rear trunk lid and on the side of the side skirts.

Here is the pic:

Forget that - keep the decals! I have two Comptech Motorsports (small white) decals at the bottom of my two small rear windows and IMO it looks cool. Lets people know that you got some performance mods! But do what you like...obviously you put them there because you thought they looked good - don't change your opinion because of someone else's beliefs.

I think they are tasteful, not like some of the civics I see running around with every mod manufacturer running up and down the door panel.

I think it looks good, but.....

If I went through the trouble of removing almost all the badging on the back, I'd probably not put stickers on it.

It really doesn't matter though, the car's gonna look sweet with or without them.

I liked the look of the decals on your ride so nuch that I had the red set and the black set sent to me and I had the black ones on the car for a week or so. Everyone was asking me what that meant. Not to mention, for some reason I did like the look. Call me crazy, I liked them on yours but not on mine?

If anyone in the Boston area wants the Comptech sticker set free of charge, let me know and you can swing by place and pick them up.

I have the small, medium and large decals in red and the medium and large in black.

to tell you the truth, i like the comptech sticker on the back. but hey, its your ride, thats what makes us all different. yes we all have the same car, but we personalize them to our tastes. if we didnt do that, then we would all be drivin stock rides.

You shouldn't stress too much as to what other people say. If you like those stickers on your car, then leave it. I personally think they are a tastefull addition.

In my opinion, you should take the one on the back off and leave the one on the side.

I think that guy is jealous.

Remember, it is YOUR car so do whatever makes you happy.

My vote goes towards "No Sticker."

Like everyone said, this is just my opinion. And looks from the responses, the general public is leaning towards "Yes Sticker."

Your car looks GREAT with or without the stickers, IMHO. But if I were to vote, then I would suggest that you take those stickers off....

You need MORE stickers! The more the better! Put them in HIGH VISIBILITY areas too! Vary the colors! Makes it look more badass!

Well, thanks people. I think I will leave the side stickers and take off the on in the back. My wife doesn't like the stickers also.

Shooter, I'll be bringing the TL unless you want to race me off-road in the MDX

Very minimalist, looks just fine, like was posted - it's not in HUGE writing everywhere. Actually hadn't seen the Inspire tails on the silver yet, it actually looks good with that color. And finally, a set of rims I like.. Very Nice.
