Which one of these looks better? Black with less stickers or Red with more??

This is for a friend to help decide on what he should do with one of his cars...

What does everyone think??

Definitely like the red one better. The black one looks like its missing sonething...like the owner hasn't finished putting the stickers on.

The only thing that's different between the two packages as presented are the "individual sponsorship" and "driver" identifications. Your friend if attempting to do an "unsponsored" replica or restoration I would think might elect to do the package on the black car. If the EXXON on the black car is/was an acceptable '89 presentation it's certainly the better appearing package!

The red is too busy to suit me but the black definitely needs something. Maybe have all the decals on the front fenders?

Track cars?

Color is not an issue for me, I'll take the fast one.

Both look badazz, but the red looks a lot cooler. The black would look better if there was a little more going on.
