As someone who is NOT into debadging...I like the one on the spoiler...but agree the front windshield and deflector stickers seem to detract from the look of the car. I did my radiators last weekend...no where near as much crud but I have half your mileage... Looks good other than that!

I agree...it's akin to putting the yellow shields on the front fenders of a Ferrari.

The windshield sticker without the curve following the contour just looks awkward and Honda ish.

I'd say take it off and if you want that sticker then get one that follows the curves.

Nothing worse than a beautiful lady wearing something that doesn't fit right.


I don't have "Porsche" anywhere on my car but think it would be cool to have in on the popup spoiler that only shows when folks are having their doors sucked off as I rocket by them.

Where can I get a sticker for that?

Flea bay is full of items like spoiler stickers. as for "Nothing worse than a beautiful lady wearing something tacky". I'm jumping to the conclusion you meant humans and making my case as follows.



Maybe I'm just old but a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, since you can't measure her heart with your eyes you really don't know what you have till you endeavor further. BUT just from a pure looks standpoint, I don't care if she's sporting a potato sack someone hideous to look at is seldom improved by dolche & gabbana, it's more likely in our culture that ugly is improved by a big fat wallet or in a best case scenario it is nullified by a beautiful core. Spend some time with a woman hotter than the sun surface who is also shallow and she will start looking less hot within seconds, conversely someone you might think is bland may electrify you if given a shot. Take a straw pole around here, I'll bet money most guys will say the hottest woman they took to bed was far from the best lover.

it was meant as an analogy:

Ie: First Impressions are lasting impressions, and since we are driving, fleeting first impressions are the majority of the experience.

Case in point, comparing A & B, with no further interaction which would you think is visually more pleasing. Same person different look.
The outfit makes a huge difference, don't you think?

Both outfits really unattractive. First face moderately attractive, second face hideous. Not really sure I get your point.
