Default Decals - How About These?

Yeah, I know the general consensus on decals, however, what do you folks think about these? I'm not "advertising" for anybody, just something different from the early days of fast cars. I have one on each side. Positive and negative comments are solicited.

I like 'em. Small enough to be unobtrusive and they blend in with the car well too! Keep 'em!

Them being small is a significant factor on deciding if I keep them or not. Any larger and it would be an automatic "take-off"

Yeah, Old School. It's the Woody design first used by 50's hot rodders. Has to be old to match me since I'm 45.

I think this used to be on Thrush mufflers back in the 60's and 70's. Probably has been used on many products unless it's someones trade mark.

I remember them from the late 50s as the logo for Clay Smith cams. (I think a pair of "MoonEyes" would also be appropriate, not at the same time, though)

Good thing that they are small, but even so, not for me.

I actually have a US Flag in that same spot, about that size.

It is an excellent location as well, does not obstruct your view
