Stickers / Emblems on a car

XutvJet · 06-26-2023, 12:22 PM

I'm usually not a fan of stickers on cars; however, I did put one on my 2011 Cayman. I like the heritage of it and feel that it helps take away some visual mass from the side profile.

Stickers - Just my anti-theft ones, and have them on 3 of my cars...they're small though

But for badges, not sure if it counts, but I did put the heritage badges on. Figure it goes with the white.

Never put a sticker or mods on any car in my life

But I think a little Italian flag stripe on the door mirrors and/or a Mulholland highway sticker for the rear door window would be a nice touch.

That car sure is a beauty in white.

Man, that car is fine. Those 666m wheels are some of my all time favorites.

Appreciated...just had to have all the wheels refinished. All of the clearcoat was cracking (and these wheels never saw salt or snow). Contemplated getting them finished in Acid Orange (GTS)...but just stuck with the silver/gray.

I'm 50/50 on these. They're not out of place by any means. I think if I could afford a P-Car and it already had it...I'd let it fly. But probably wouldn't add it myself.

Not a fan of the new center stripe they have on the 911's.

Isn't that unusual for the clear coat to degrade so quickly? How long did you have them? Anything damaging applied to them, like wheel acid that was left on too long, or anything like that?

I had some BMW 313s with a clearcoat that lasted me around 9 years that never cracked or anything.

I never use any chemicals to clean the wheels...soap, water, and a wooly brush. Also got a set of Akebono's so it's not like I'm getting a ton of brake dust either.

From that, these wheels only have ~14K on them...I have a separate set of wheels for when it's driven in the winter.

I bought the car with 4K on the ODO - so who knows what the previous owner may have done. I thought it was odd they were cracking too, and it was 3 of the 4 wheels. Was what it was...they're flawless now (though with the recut, they have a sharper edge to them).

They are beautiful wheels.

Those seventies style side stripes I've seen on some of the pricey Singer 911's and they look right on.

ShopVac · 06-27-2023, 09:43 AM

Guess now that I'm thinking of this, this is 'technically' a sticker too (vinyl wrapped). I'm just junking the car up, aren't I?

///MPhatic · 06-27-2023, 10:00 AM

No stickers on the M2, just changed the rear badge to black.

The Lotus has the Cup Car windshield banner, and some modified Cup stickers, but they're similar to OEM (less obtrusive IMO).

Thought these were funny.

Well, the only i got, is from the Shop where my car is maintained. the owner always gimme a special price, just to keep a small transparent sticker (and looks nice).

I don't put stickers on my cars, but I saw this one on someone else's bumper:

Buug959 · 07-07-2023, 12:52 PM

This one has been around the city for a while now. I finally caught it standing still. What do you think... just a tiny bit overboard or just right?
