Do you guys put decals on your whips?

I want to get some decals for my truck advertising my use of their products, but I don't want to whore out my truck and make it look like a billboard. Any of you put decals (of any kind) on your vehicle? If so, what are they?

Not on my camry. Because once you put a sticker on a car these days, your pretty much labeled a ricer. I had stickers on my old truck, from all the performance parts. I think I had "Edlebrock, comp cams, P.A.W., Mopar Performance, and a Ram head.

meh 1 sticker doesnt hurt.....plus why is everyone so afraid of the word ricer? Someone calls you a ricer....so what? its your car, you aint trying to win a prize. (or are you)

Rice is a matter of opinion, NOT a matter of fact!

No.

Absolutely no decals.

No need to advertise what I have behind my 5% tint.

unless they are giving me free shit, im not advertising for them.

and im sure as hell not putting any audio stickers on!! thats just asking for someone to steal your shit!! you might as well put a sign in your front yard saying you have a 50" plasma TV in your living room.

sometimes less is more.

and is it me, or do you guys shake your head and laugh every time you hear someone call a vehicle a whip? is it not the dumbest fuck'n thing you've ever heard? i think its a prerequisite to have platinum teeth in order to use that term

I'm curious if thieves would even know brands like Ascendant Audio, Helix, Soundstream, MB Quart, etc.

I think they'd be after more popular brands like Sony, Alpine, Pioneer, etc since they are more well known and can probably fetch a higher black market price than lesser known audiophile brands.

I had a Marantz CD player on my home stereo that I picked up at a garage sale that was still in excellent condition and everyone was wondering why I paid so much for a used CD player when I could have got a new Sony or Yamaha unit for the same price. . I got it for cheap because the guy thought his toddler broke it. Took it home and found a rubber brand stuck inside that was wrapped around the spindle and slide for the tray.

You're right, but only to a certain degree. Thieves aren't likely to know much about the stuff me, Rob, etc. have in our cars, but the thing is -- THEY DON'T CARE.

To them, it's all about stealing it and turning it around for a quick profit. To them Helix is just as shiny as Audiobahn and there's no difference whatsoever.

That's why the only sticker I'll slap on my car -- ever -- is one that says "Protected by Viper Alarms"

I guess you have a point there. A friend of mine knew someone in NYC who bought a $4000+ Litespeed mountain bike off a crack head for $50. I guess he just wanted another hit and could careless and probably didn't know what the heck a Litespped bike is or how much it;s worth. BTW, Litespeed bikes are titanium frame, so they are $$$$
