He ASKED for opinions, and that's what he got.
Yes it is his car, and that's why he's got it done up like that, because that's how he wanted to do it. People are simply expressing their opinions of it, as asked.

1. It's your car, you like it, fine.
2. I'm not against stickers (I have a couple for sponsors)
3. Planning vinyl graphics out carefully is the way to go (see the 2 cars posted by Pikachu...although 1 is a racecar and a little too much for the street IMO, the show car should be the avenue you take).
4. If you are sponsored, make sure your placement of the graphics for that sponsor is acceptable to them.
Good luck...hopefully it is a work in progress....

He asked for the advice. Both good and bad is what he said.

My thoughts on threads like these is that if you are going to post something you've done and ask people what they think you better be willing to take just as many, if not more, negative comments as positive comments. Otherwise don't even create the thread. This aint an AA meeting where we all HAVE to stroke each other's ego's and constantly do nothing but make each other feel good. You ask for comments be ready for the truth.
What people DO need to work on is being more constructive with their comments, both good and bad. If you don't like something, explain why (besides the common racist and obligatory "rice" statement) and what you think would make it better. And the same goes for positive comments too. At least say why you think it is nice, and try to give some suggestion for making it even better. Because nothing is ever perfect and can always be improved.
My point of all this is that if all you're looking for is to get your ego stroked or you are an attention *****, in the end you are gonna get your feelings hurt. Go join your local AA group. They've got nothing but love for you there.

I've seen negative comments in threads that have crossed that line and were unnecessary.

At the end, one's maturity and character can be summed up by the manner in which he or she replies.

Having that many stickers, I'm sure his ride has been called rice before, so I'd hope his skin is thick. That being said, there is such a thing as a perfect car. Stock. It's the reason everyone who owns their car bought the car (unless they bought it specifically to mod the hell out of it).
Go back to stock, then add the exterior stuff back as stock. Stock tails, stock color CF hood (CF or painted to match the body ENTIRELY), etc...
I'm not ******* on your ride, if that's how you like it, that's on you but for the sake of everyone around you, please clean it up a little. The guys with the vinyl placement strategies are spot-on.
