Technically the Porsche you posted was designed by a Japanese guy.

I do not have any stickers OR decals on my C5 and couldn't bring myself to do it. Even on the inside. Just wondered how others felt.
Even if I was driving a 72' Pinto there would be no bumper stickers on it but I have seen other people's cars just covered.

I like the tattoo analogy. I also grew up loving fast cars, chasing skirts, loud tunes, beer parties, and rock concerts, but I do not like tatoos on a woman, a tramp stamp is what I call them or much adornment of the like on my car. I always got a kick at the guys who would put Alpine, Pioneer, Rockford Fosgate, decals all over their car. That is like advertising "please break in and take all my chit!" LOL.

I have one of them on my windshield. It was there when I purchased the car. I had every intention of removing it after buying the car....That was 8 or 9 years ago and its still there...lol...For some reason, I don't even notice it....

Some stickers add more HP than others.

A Competition Cams sticker is good for about 25HP
A Summit Racing sticker is only good for about 5hp
A Mobile 1 sticker doesn't add any but keeps the injectors from gumming up.

Personally, I don't even like the factory badges so I took them off. Now no one can tell it is a Corvette.

Plain and tidy for me, but that being said, I'm digging this one:

Its really comes down to what ever trips your trigger. Personally, for me, I prefer cars clean and simple. Track cars are an exception, sponsor names and all that. I have occasionally, in the past, placed a small club decal in the lower passenger side corner of the windshield, but thats as far as I've ever gone with the decal/stick on/glue on or whatever else doodads that folks come up with. If the doodads make you happy, then you need to go for it. Being an individual and making your ride your own is a huge part of the car hobby. Take care!

Perfectly said.

Now that I think of it, my car was vinyl wrapped by the previous owner. The whole damn thing is a sticker! Think of all the horsepowers that's adding.

I don't put anything on my paint other than racing numbers for the weekend. I have an SCCA decal on my window along with the layouts of the tracks I have run.
