Decals on your windows??Comments

So whats your opinion on window decals on cars..I was wanting to get this veilside decal for my rear windshield and perhaps the front. I did a photochop of it on my car..I think it looks pretty cool...
 
I always thought decals are cool but it always seemed to give more of a sporty look than an elegance look. 
 
Here is my car Photochoped with the veilside decal..I also have Virtual modded the car for the next phase in my project..Aero kit with quad pipes...So with this style that I am after the decal seems to complement the style...

What are your guys thoughts?

I think it takes away from the car.  Especially if its on the rear windshield.  All my attention just went to the window instead of the wheels, ride height etc.

IMO I think it does take away from some of the class depending on how it's down! I think that if a company is sponsoring you or helping you out in some way than ok, but if not than nah! I admit though, when I bought my first mod (JP fusa & Kintsuna) I added the JP sticker to my lower windshield! I also added my hard to get AutoFashion stickers on the sides to support and represent! I also think it's ok if let's say you have the kit and all the parts they offer! Hehehehehehe! :giggity:

I have one sticker and its my cousin's shop's sticker that I put in the lower driverside of my windshield. I figured I'd help out the family since they help with getting my tires mounted. No sponsors here, but at times if someone were to sponsor me with some tires, I may not mind rocking their sticker, but I think all of my stickers, if there were more, they'd all line up on the lower corners of the windshield.

Yeah i agree with you all..and you all have valid points..however I do have the cima script decals on both my 
side rear windows..

I do like the way this looks..not to big and blends in with my cima trunk emplem.

Little side window stickers are fine.  As long as they are not over a couple inches tall and about 5 inches long.  Anything like a banner on the windshield or rear window takes away from the car.  I think a luxury car should have little to no vinyl on thier car.

I don't find nothing wrong with window decals as long as you are rocking or reppin what it is. For the most part, i have an Auto Fashion sticker on my back passenger windows and love em.

I would go with others an say if your not rocking a sponsor. I like the small cima script or any smaller sticker for that matter.

Anything that doest take away from your whip.

Maybe u can try other colors decal such as gold color to have the ghost effect. That way your sticker would not be that appealing.

As long as it's tidy, classy, and relevant I can't say I object to them, aesthetically.

Do you actually have any veilside parts?
 
 
I still like the oldschool vip rear window decals, like ALL JAPAN DRESS UP FAMILY etc, but not something like veilside etc.

Dom, he has VeilSide wheels, but I think that's it.  I used to run that banner on my windshield, but only because of VeilSide sponsoring me at the time (aero & accessories).  I only run sponsor stickers if anything.  On a VIP car it takes away from the elegance.  I'll run my crew and my shop/sponsors..but even then it's done more indiscreet and elegant and only for actual sponsors.

Zion, that one looks too sporty...
 
I think a nice elegant one would be nice but on the front windshield on top. and not too big.
 
 I put the JP decal with the letters in silver across my top windshield and I cant see my self taking it off....it looks badass up there

[COLOR=lemonchiffon]Yeah I agree it does look sporty...and like widebody_Q said it draws to much attention to it and takes away from the wheels and what not...[/COLOR]
[COLOR=lemonchiffon][/COLOR] 
[COLOR=lemonchiffon]I have wanted to put a JP decal on the front winshield infact I have seen the JP decals that glow in the dark in red green and blue..I have been tossing the idea of going with the green but I am not sure if it will look corny in the night...(not glow as bright as the pic)[/COLOR]

It's like a flow chart. It starts for me with: 
Do I have parts from this company - yes/no
If yes, do I want to show this off and advertise for this company for free? - yes/no
If yes, do they have an aesthetically pleasing decal/logo? - yes/no

If yes to all of these, then I would put the sticker on.

But on a purely 'looks' basis, I think the VeilSide banner is very nice, and makes the car look  a bit wider because of the wing shape. It's also a very recognized brand, that people are impressed by.

sorry...since I'm new here, does VSC produce its own club stickers? If yes where do members place them?

D'oh, of course. I see veilside as more of a drift/race company though (even though the Andrew Racing wheels are HOT).

I will be honest with you bro..I have no idea about what companies are racing and drift..alls I know is I like the wheels so much and the lips on these are awsome..3.5" front and 5.5" rear and thats the main reason I bought them as well as I know I most likely will not see another Q with them as they are discontinued...that = value to me....This is the first Car styling that has lead me to forums..I never used forums before VIP style...but I have learned alot of info from you guys..

leave em off. It looks way cleaner.

Thats a pretty big logo....
 
I would say no if they're not sponsoring u in some way. Im totally against free advertising
 
 
I run big decals (bigger than I have to) but I like the company....and they pay for all my tires :biggthumpup:

All the tires I run thru....And they still get the better end of the deal :slap:

Wow DG you have one nice car..you have any video clips of you drifting or rolling??I would love to use it in our next promo video..

Decals on anywhere but the windshield give it that sporty feel. I'd just put a JP banner on the front windshield or in your case, the Veilside banner on the front. The Quad tips would be a good idea. Dual exit exhausts are so sexy.

I'm not feeling the sticker.its to big.it kind of takes way that luxury image of your car.but i like the quad tips tho.

How do u guys differentiate between sporty and elegance stickers?? What happens if JP stickers were placed instead of the current posted one. Size? Design? or simply the brand name?

The size of the sticker and the font used in the logo make it either elegant or sporty.

I rock a small one on the back window

I get what u mean dude...I think we r looking at those really refine fonts...not too big but just nice...

Id get a much smaller and thinner sticker for the rear window.  Not a huge banner type like that one.

i think it would look nice in the left lower corner and non of those flower things
thats me though
but id also put it on a slight angle too
its personal pref though

You know, I'm quite curious to see her drifting. I haven't seen any showing her skills.  Any video's out there?

These words are perfect. I couldn't agree more, sometimes some might invest in a few sets just to put on for nice meets and events but take them off afterwords but I still think they should be done in a neat manner.

the only sticker on my cedric

and since then i put on like 5 more
i want it to stand out at the track like a sore thumb so it gets the coverage it deserves

I'd rock the VIPStylecars.com forum stickers if I could ever get mine!!LOL:smiley-rofl:

I would not do it unless the company is helping me in some way.

this company is helping me look gooooood............so I rock it

The picture looks really on-centre...is your sticker off-centre perhaps?

edit: I think the reflection of the ceiling is throwing my eye off

nahh, its centered just right.....I think the mirror inside being crooked is throwing you

nah, its deff about a half an inch off to the right.
definately

Just so there is no argument.  I took measurements from areas on top outer edges of the windshield and from the center of the grill.  Okay, so it's a smidgen off...no big deal.  The picture is not totally centered so the small amount it is off looks more noticable in the picture:

So give Gato a break..haha.

Hehe, I did the same thing, but  bit less high-tech...I used the side of a pen on my computer screen. That's when I noticed the reflection.

My new stickers for VIP Emporium are just under 12" across and under 2" in height.  And that is my largest of stickers I offer.  I'll post up a pic later today when I get back home.

I went pretty small on another car.....I think I'll make them smaller tho :shrug:
