Default Tacky Car Decals!

I took this poll in the general questions forum, but I want to see what my fellow Texans think about it. If you already posted on the other one, just vote and you dont rlly have to comment again unless you want too!

Do you think car decals are tacky on the F-Body? Im not talkin about anything extreme like dragons and other crazy stuff, im more like talkin about racing stripes and all the logos decaled out. What do yall think!

If it is a sticker I provided.. then no its not tacky..


other then that yes it is tacky having multiple stickers on your car...
Especially the ones that are advertising **** that you dont have, or is not yours... IMO...



I like them when they make your car stand out...

but not when you have 50 of them everywhere.

wow..please dont...

by the way. I've always been against decals etc on cars. But when I bought my car it already had black bird stripes on the hood. At first I hated it, but then it grew on me and I think it matches the ceta mod/tint well. but still not sure if its something I want to keep. I think theres "tasteful" ways to have them, but not many are tasteful IMO.

I have seen cars done with decals that look nice but some people over do it with more bright colored accent pieces like the picture you posted.

Yeah especially since all the post are about people hating them. I think the people saying they like them are not posting for some reason!

One or two decals is alright, but then it just looks too gaudy. All the color accents looks tacky too. Especially when it's a black car with bright *** orange decals.
