^^^ Personally, I don't like stickers on any car, so will advise against it.

Wylout:

They really look nice if properly installed is all i can say and i'm yet to find a flaw in them.

Operation:

cute stickers,  personally not my thing, but with patience and a bit of practice they can be applied well. Just a bit of a mission sorting out all of those air bubbles you get when your putting them on.

The only problem you might get is because of the sun, especially if its an older car where the paint is starting to fade,  Putting the stickers on will protect the paint that they are stuck over, whilst the rest is free to fade, so come a couple of years when the vinyl is starting to look tatty and faded itself, upon removal you will notice that the paint underneath is a slightly different shade to the rest of the car. rather annoying.

The again, its up to you. People have different tastes, which I appreciate. The only thing I don't like is when things are not done correctly. Get the stickers installed properly and it will look half decent at the very least.

Operation:

It shouldn't be so bad on black, Just don't go for the cheapest stickers, because they might not last as long. If its something you really want to do then go for it. Are you in Nigeria? don't recognise the number plate. Large stickers will also attract attention, which is probably best avoided.

That all you'll present to all.

Ms. Yam:

What do you mean?

Juvenile  Embarrassed

That all you'll present to all.

Siena:

I think Mr Sultaan means, you'll make a nice car look a joke, and the owner / driver will be treated as such. I'm all for making a car look good, but not at the expense of detracting from the overall appeal. A car looks clean when it's uncluttered. A bit of "less is more".

Still, it's your call, no doubt you started this thread to get different views, which is what you've gotten. There are no right or wrong ways to style a car, the most important thing is you do what pleases you, and not others; you'll be the one behind the wheel, not us.

sultaan:

Sometimes you don't want to drive down the street with a big "daddy bought this" sticker all over your car.
You want to give the impression being  responsible enough to drive such a beauty.

A pink interior and flowery decals is nice if you're in high school.If not, anything more than stripe, sport team, or a baad kitty

desthan:

@Ms Potato,

Nice ride you've got there. What brand of toyota is that and how much did you get it for?

@topic

stickers not my thingy. . . but my boo loves it so much, she has the damn thing all over her car making it look like a campaign ride

lastpage:

Hmmm!!

Why on earth are you even asking this question when it is obvious (from your room and car interior) that YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE?

Or are you just trying to "show us" something?
Not a bad idea in itself sha

BTW: When did "Bumper Stickers" become "Air Bags"?,.,.,.,. talking about "Car Safety"?

gestapo:

1)Knew it was only a matter of time till she accidentally posts the picture (check)

2) Though I doubted someone would be that crass, not surprised though that her narcissistic self would post the price too (check)

3) Now counting down till her fat fingers can't stop itching her and she tells us how it is her Malaysian based Nigerian boyfriend Tony who shares accommodation with 6 others who bought her the car (waiting to tick check)

4) Also waiting as well for her to tell us how it is the precious salary she gets paid from the 14 members 3 viewing forum where she moderates that she is going to use to purchase the stickers.(My itchy finger too can't wait to tick check too)     

sultaan:

A sticker wil be fine, after some time on your car the shade will be different when you take off the decal.
A claybar and wax should help fix it.

Try something like this

Siena:

Ms. Yam, please do as you please, and don't be offended when people tell things as they see them. I feel you opened a can of worms, when you started this thread, and posted pictures.

I like modifying cars as much as anyone, but I balk at stickers. They just don't do anything for me. I didn't look at the website, to see how the stickers were applied, there was no need to. I've been in the car customising game for a very, very long time, and have seen and done it all, both to mine and client's cars. To a certain degree, a car says a lot about the driver / owner - I know you say you don't really care, but I disagree. You care enough for your car to make a statement, hence the need to personalise the interior and exterior to your taste. Everyone cares about how others perceive them, else we wouldn't be fussy about what we wore, drove, whom we hung out and where we lived.

And if your concern is regarding the long-term effect of stickers on your paintwork, then I wouldn't get any. A claybar will restore / blend the paintwork, after the stickers have been removed, lets say after 6 months. However, it won't rectify faded paintwork. Your car's black, probably metallic (I can't see much in the image) so may not suffer from fade. However, a black car is less forgiving, when it comes to hiding blemishes.

Another issue could be damage to the clear lacquer, once it begins to peel, the only way so get the shine back will be a complete respray. You can't re-lacquer paint that has already hardened.

Good luck, whatever you decide.

nanidee:

@ Ms. Potato, sorry Ms. Yam,

You got a cute room. Something tells me you are the overtly girly type  ([size=5pt]but you get liver sha posting your bedroom in a public forum)[/size]

Hmm, car stickers, dont really like them, they kinda draw a ftunny kind of attention, no matter how cute they may look.  

I think the car is cute that way, and o, the interior,  

D-Onlooker:

Hmmm, wondering if Lord-Reed shares that pinky bedroom with u, thats way too much for a Lord abeg.

Siena:

^^^ Spraying on a design will be even worse - you'll have "raised edges" compared to the surrounding paintwork, and it'll be virtually impossible to prepare just the area to be painted. I think your brother means "air brushing" too. If you decide to revert back to normal, you'll have to respray the entire panels concerned.

As per Lord Reed, I believe the flippant comment stems from your signature. . .

danakuba:

I wonder where people get their info from.

Car stickers are  brilliant they don't do any damage to the body work of the car.Vinyl vehicle wraps are removable

There transparent sticker that  protects your car body paint from UV rays so the colour of your car will always remain thesame. They protect your car from stone chips and scratches.

Check for car body wrap. on google. you will learn more not from NL

@ Ms Potato. I will offer you a free 4M side or Viper stripe , just pay for the postage. www.ojsigns.com

Ms. Potato:

How about changing the rim tyres? Will it affect anything?
