So I have a bunch of stickers for various vendors...

The thing is, I actually have the parts installed in/on my car. Does that mean I should stick the stickers on there too?

Wiseco
Eagle
ACT
Fidanza
Corbeau
Perma-cool
Tokico
Ground Control
Afco
Crane
Aeroquip
Autopower


Just to name a few. I don't think there is enough room on the car for all of them...

How fast is a car with all the stickers *and* all the parts. Also, I don't have a NOS sticker yet, where can I get one?

Scott,

The real question is....

Are any of them yellow?

Everyone knows that yellow stickers give the most horsepower bump. So choose wisely on you sticker choice.

You could always use them in place of bows on Sally's Xmas presents...

Stick'em on the underside of the hood, or your toolbox. :)

if you don't like the commitment of sticking it on the car, you could stick them onto magnetic backing and just put 'em on for auot-x. that even lets you mix up where you have them. you could also use static cling film if you want a clear backing. :)

Middle of the windshield. Definitely the new look.

Sage advice from a NASCAR team I met once:
Don't put ANY stickers on the car unless you are either getting money from the company, or there is chance you could get money from the company (contingency).

Being as I have installed a few stickers installed, I think I have a good reference point. Put them on glass that makes them much easier to take off when you decide you are tired of staring at them. IMHO they need to be offset with other stickers just to keep the balance. Of the 8 stickers on my car 3 are music related, 2 are bike related, and 3 are care related, and none of them say APC.

yes, if they are willing to bid > 6.00 for an aluminum foil hat for your pet to stop brain scans they'll probably buy stickers they could request for free from the manufacturers. :shock:

Hehe...

At the first Dyno Day I took the black car to, I also had my Autocross Type R magnetic. The first run it pulled a 104. I then added the R sticker... 106. I then turned the R sticker upside down... 107.

Conclusive evidence that if you apply all the stickers, you gain HP. If you apply them upside down, you gain even more HP.

You can thank me later. ;)
