I'm gonna say leave it as is. Your car looks really good now. A windshield banner might be too much. IMO, it would be a distraction from the rest of the car.

This has been talked about before, except the guy had a TA and put one on,
There were more bad then good reviews......

and my 2cents

ONLY put a windsheild banner on your car if.........

1. The company is paying you to advertise for them
or
2. You received a huge savings/deal with the company for a part and they pay for the banner

I would say leave it off. I think large banners clutter the car and are a huge distraction. In my opinion, if you are going to put stickers on the car then keep them small. Just my .02!

However, if you like it then go for it!

Heres another vote for don't do it. I think it looks tacky and you will be advertising for a company that is not paying you too.

I am also in debate on weather i want a banner in my car. The one reason i want one is because its my motto. i want it to say "Allaboutitracing" white block letters. any comments? and if i do get one i think im going to try and see if i can get it to stay up there somehow and see how it looks first.

Depends on the banner. I like how xsta's 'camaro' banner looks on his red car. I would only do it in silver or NBM with black outline if you do get one...
