I have an opportunity to place some full side body graphics on my TE,
Im just wondering what you all think. Im not going to get a multicolored massacre of some sort along the sides, more like a simple stripe just under the window or perhaps a several cloud like tears along.
Should i go mild or wild?
Here are some pics that this company do:

before you get stickers please make sure you have (in no particular order, but you must have all to qualify)
a) IMMACULATE body work (no dents, no scratches and NO rust and mis coloured spots)
b) IMMACULATE Paint work, no faded stuff, no miss matched colours and a CUSTOM colour would be an advantage
c) BIG wheels, no hubcaps / 16" rims :doubt: (min 19")
d) DUMPED... no stock suspension... god no.....
*optional*
e) TURBO... dont just look fast - be fast!
e - commonly refered to RICE otherwise... my stickers are justified lol

Not saying booya is stupid just he' dead right needs at least the mods he specified not needing turbo Yet.
The decals on a stock car would look very very RICE.

Even with a dam nice/fast car vinyls are still considered rice IMO, they might just be more appropriate, or not AS ricey. As with most things like this, all that matters is if you like them, if you really like them then go for it, although being realistic, you'll probly get the odd d*ckhead every now and then making some smart a$$ comment, but like I said, if you like the idea then go for it.

What a tough crowd!
No thanks for the thoughts.
The car is perfectly white no dints no scrapes.
It is lowered with kings spring sitting on low profile tyres wrapped around 17" lenso ALGIS.
PERFORMANCE IN A MAGNA WITH A CABIN FULL OF ICE, maybe NOT! soz but Im working on it. I dont mind the yelverteen kit but also liking the kit of WTCHME, they will be done this year.
The graphics are a promotional gift where I work, we are going to sell them and I have the only decent clean straight car to put them on for show. I understand the whole concept of RICE, that is what keeps me in a job, I see more rice then at a chinese festival (no offense to our Australasian neighbours). Believe me when I say it is purely for promotion, not for personal pleasure. But at the same time it is my daily driver. Im just not sure what to do!
I just dont want to have them put on only to destroy what already is a smooth looker, but on the other hand I dont want to pass up an expensive freebie to other staff members and have their commodores or falcons leaking oil in the showroom.

as long as the vynals are 1 or 2 shades from the cars paint colour i reckon they look shcmik. just make it look subtle
i do agree the car has to atleast run a 15 before it can have vynals tho. and lowered. wheel size isn't everything because once they are too big the car is like a pos to drive and handles bad.

something like the very bottom ones in blue would look ok i think
decals are retarded..
If you are gonna do it.. Do it properly and have the car sprayed with the picture/symbol/whatever...

Agreed. If it's advertising then it's exempt.

i don't really like the decals much, but have a look at ice_magik's car and the sticker he chopped onto his car, looks tight.
all depends on the car and colour etc.

Go for it mate! :badgrin:
If you had to pay for em it might be a harder decision but if they're freebies :D ... don't pass up the opportunity.
Choose something YOU like that'll suit YOUR car but be ready for lots of looks.
Maybe something in a subtle colour like grey ? Not sure.
