Side decals, What ya think?

I am thinking about getting some side decals for my car and think i have found the ones i want to get. I plan on getting them put in between the body side molding and the line by the door handles. Let me know what you think

I am planning on going with the red just in case you are wondering.

I guess I'd have to see it on the car first to make an opinion....but I'm not much of a decal person either....I like the clean look

same here....but I do like the looks of those....HOWEVER....have them PAINTED on.....SURE it costs more.....but they will last longer...and in MY opinion will look better.

Well this coming from a vinyl dude, i agree that painting them on would be the best bet, BUT with vinyl, if you change your mind, it's an easy fix...the cons, it can tear if scratched, possible color fade in the sunny belts, application can be a BYATCH! Can peel off when rubbed when washing.
If you do go the vinyl route, i suggest a small dab of clear nail polish on the sharp tips and points to avoid any peeling when you wash the car.

i still plan on doing these on mine....but a more subtle silver, as close to ghost flames as i can get i guess...not the bright gray shown. It took me a while to get the licks to flow the way i wanted, it's still not 100%, but i'm done with it.....
