MY EVO with decals. 56K beware, What's your opinion

So here's a quick story.. I got into a minor car accident.. and ended up scratching my entire hood and sides.. I had them replaced at this immaculate and caring body shop.. The shop specializes in restoring cars so when the owner saw the EVO it reminded him of his racing days.. He and his son were thinking and thought it would be real nice to put decals on the EVO.

I am usually against decals, as all the one's i've seen look gaudy and tacky.. But when the son's owner showed me what his friend's decal shop could do I was sold..

So I took some picture of my car after the accident and the decals.. I wanted to know what you guys thought..

P.S. The rear spoiler EVO is supposed to be kind of a mean looking face.. Where the E and the O are eyes.. and the V is like an eyebrow.. The designer thought it was a little too childish the way I drew it, and he opted for a more sophisticated and futuristic look so this is what he came up with.

By the way this decal is chameleon.. it changes color depending on the lighting.. and about the body works sticker in the Rear I'm getting it removed as we speak. He just put it on b/c he is proud of his work.

I'm still not sure if I want carbon fiber look inside the EVO just like the rest of the DECAL or if I should remove it entirely.. What do you guys think.

Any Feedback would be appreciated. P.S. car is dirty.. it rained 2 days ago. I apologize.

To be honest i think its really ricey, it reminds me of those trendy wire tatoo's people get around there arm......Im not an advocate of stickers what so ever, i prefer the clean look but its your car and to each their own.

Yea.. I pretty much decided on removing the EVO.. I think it's overkill.. Should I replace it with anything else Maybe a continuing tear or should I just take it off completely and leave the spoiler stock.

P.S. By the way... Did anyone notice my license plates.. I'm actually shocked they were up for grabs.

1024x768 pixels my friend! the wing sticker has to go! If you like that rip/tear style of graphics, look at the Blitz or HKS Evo7, I think. It was white but had this "rip/tear" graphics throughout the whole car. i personally would tell you to spend your money on better things, but it's your car so, you have fun with it.

Not my type of graphics. Looks like someone with a big crowbar scratch your car from the front to the back. But hey, to each is own.

It's really cool, if you're really into rice. I think (most people will aggree) stickers on anything aside from a sponsored race car is ricey.

The stripe decal doesn't "clash" with the car or anything... it just makes it look like a 16yr old owns the car.

That's a negative, Houston. At least it's subtle and somewhat clean, but it's just not my cup of soup =/ The eVo on the back looks pretty good, but those lighting bolt type streaks have got ta go.
