Sure if you want to advertise for a company that doesn't pay/give you anything. That's always a cool thing to do.

Nothing wrong with "supporting" something. I wouldn't put any type of advertising on my car for free because:
1. They have not given me anything for free (Not even a handjob)
2. Gaudy as hell looking
3. Advertising expensive parts on the car=Easy target for criminals

Reasons why I would put stickers on:
1. Local car club
2. If my car was something special, and was stock on the vehicle
3. Friends/family ran the business

Your car looks great as it is, don't ruin it.

I can usually spot ricers in my rear view by their windshield banners especially v6 mustangs.
Not trying to flame I'm just saying. The rear of your car looks good don't ruin the front.

How about:

lanalaro

That'll get laughs from people when they see your car in the rearview.

Personally, I'm not much for windshield banners. Stuff that gets in my line of sight while driving just annoys me.

To each his own though.

I have to agree that they are ricer mods and ugly. The only way I would do it, is if I had a formy and put on all firebird decals (or remove decals), restrictive single exhaust output w/a cutout and the windshield said firebird V6 so it could be a sleeper car.

I say do it. The Trans Am looks beg for attention anyway...always has way more than the camaro. ****, look at the third gens with the big *** screaming chicken on the hood. Ricer? Gay? Comments probably coming from someone sporting a earring or tribal tatoo. Point is, the way you want your car to look is YOUR personal choice, just like your haircut or clothes (or piercings/tatoos). If you like it, do it!

what you just said is complete ricer! why would you demote the car you have, thats like the stang v6 guys putting cobra bumpers and emblems on.

thats just


and when your sponsored by someone, they do what their logos on your car, they dont get in the line of site.
