I'm not a fan of the stickers. I doubt you'd forget what kind of parts are in the car, plus it just cheapens the look. It just screams "import" to me.

the difference between my stickers and import stickers is my car acually has that stuff on it and import guys think they do.
but i understand where your coming from. i think it gives it more of the drag car look atleast i dont have thousands of them all over the place. since this just is a race car no street time it really dosent bother me.

unlike everyone else in here I actually like the stickers... I have a few on my hatch as well... and like you said, difference between our stickers and import stickers is that we actually own those parts. They use stuff like: "Decal-Kits.com" "Sweet Ride Parts", 'NOS" while I for example have: "Holley, Edelbrock, B&M, Summit, etc etc...
I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's your car, and especially if you use it mostly at the track, then do whatever you want

Stickers go on the garage wall, not the car.
Unless they are your sponsors, of course.

The way I look at stickers and decals: why give free advertisement to a company that charged you full (outrageously inflated) price to purchase the piece in the first place. If they want advertisement, give you a deal or something in exchange for the advertisement (just me).
Regardless, car looks good. I like the hood and wheels.

my stickers go on my toolbox. exept my TGO stickers. they are under my hood where i enjoy them when i am under there.
all my TRW, MOOG, SUMMIT, K&N, and KELLY stickers would do in my neighborhood is say "hey, if you steqal me and part me out there is good stuff to take."
like those morons with huge "POWERED BY JBL" sticker on there cars "hello, get free car audio equipment here"
EDIT* oh by the way, other then the stickers i think it looks awsome! i would never get a hood like that unless i neede the clearence for a supercharger, but it looks amazing, it fits on the maro, it works. i love the wheels.

yeah i just never liked the look of the 2 or 3 inch cowl i got the four inch beacuse i am going to be building a motor for it soon and dont know which route im going yet and if i got like a 2 inch cowl and ended up needing something bigger that would suck.
