Do decals look tacky?

I found this hood decal and thought it looked cool. If it would look totally crappy on a red 04 lancer es then I won't get it. I just thought I would ask some lancer owner's opinions Also, what do you think of the window decals that say lancer or Mitsubishi?

Bottom line - it's an opinion matter. Half the people will love them, half will hate them.

Do what YOU like.

..... >_>;; ok ill say the decals that you have chosen are .. not to my taste...
i do on the other hand have decals on my lancer... (see my gallery)
... but if your taste is flames... um... go for it?
o__o;;;
luckily i was blessed witht he skills of design and i created the side decal on my car...
as well as the one on my CF wing...
my car unfotunately is all show and no go..
unless its on touge...
...for some reason i can tear it up on touge...
lol
~_~;;;

but in any case... get creative ... go big or go home...

ps my car has a JDM vinyl set-up
(mirrrored images on the passenger side)
am i the only lancer with this? j/w o_o;;

i agree totally, however another way of looking at it is, half the people will be making fun of you and half wont, leaving the car alone will cause no one to make fun of your car
