Default Need your opinion

Okay this coming week I am making my first step in visual mods to my car...tint. Going 85% or 15% whatever you wanna call it. Currently I have nkyfba sticker (northern kentucky fbody association) and z28.com sticker on my rear window. On my windshield I have Trans Am in the trans am lettering on the door. I'm thinking of changing it to a more subtle, stock, clean look. Thinking about taking off all the decals on my windows. What do you guys think? Take it off...yay or nay?

Hmm.. Maybe take off the one on the windshield, but im not 100% sure.
Just go out and stare at the car, remember more is less sometimes. However, doing all these things is what makes it YOUR car. So just walk around it a few times and take a good hard look on what you think, which is what matters most

Put the 'Trans Am' banner on the bottom of the windshield in tint. It'll be subtle and definately custom
at the same time. It's yours, so let people KNOW it's YOUR car!

I voted yes. My car had a Pontiac windshield banner and about every other vinyl piece you could imagine when I bought it. They are all off now and makes the car look way cleaner.

Other than the windshield banner your car is in check. I wouldn't do anything else to it appearance wise though, just keep the car clean.
