Well, it really all depends on the use of the car. If the thing is a showcase for someone's business or technology -- and it creates a good impression, attention and business, sure, why not? If the stickers are some private attempt to brag or stand out, I think it's pretty weak -- you're not adding anything to the beauty or function of the car.

At the end of the day, though, the stickers on non-commercial vehicles are just people's way of calling attention to themselves and trying to fit into whatever social circle they wish to be a part of. Think of your teenager wearing his/her Abacrombie & Fitch sweatshirt, Old Navy Tee, or whatever. Or you wearing your PING or Callaway Golf hat. The mark of a truly successful brand is one that gets its customers to proudly advertise their association and loyalty. Nothing really wrong with that.

I guess I should amend my post...

If you think a beautiful woman is enhanced by a tattoo - then maybe stickers are great! (...at least they don't cause permanent damage in most cases!)

Around here, they've practically turned that into a status symbol. One dealership in particular has done very well with this: Rusnak. People buy their plate surrounds and put em on cars that werent bought from there.
