lol no thanks to this. Would LOL if I saw it on the road.


I don't even like putting parking permit stickers on my rear view, let alone stickers on the outside of my car at all. Keep it clean.

First time I saw it was when I was into the MR2 scene. It's hard to take in at first (esp. if the first time you're seeing it is on the internet). But when I saw some stickerbombs in person I thought it was a unique idea... like messy art.



Also the Drift FR-S has the rear window stickerbombed with DTA (Don't Trust Anyone) decals. I like how it uses a cohesive color scheme...




Now that I think about it, I may just try this if I can find the right color set of stickers for cheap. And I know the perfect spot on my car to do it. MuWAhAHAHAha (if this impulse lasts)

Dawg, this is MCM. This car is magnificent. So much better than a stock MK3.


Honestly, it's all opinion though. I love me a good stickerbomb. And I have also found myself liking slight tire stretches and moderately stanced cars... I suppose tastes change...

In my opinion, a lot of things are pretty cool in moderation. However, many people think if a little bit of something is good, more is better. Eventually you cross the line from tasteful to garish. I think a stickerbomb can work in certain applications, if you do not go too far with it.

I agree completely, especially on a new car doing too much of something like this is absurd. Although I do think it's funny that I could stickerbomb my rear emblem thing above the license plate and the interior panels AND the fender vents for less than the cost of one carbon fiber overlay...

Sticker bombing done right can look great. But is very easy to do wrong.

I can't decide a good panel to sticker bomb on the frs.... Maybe the piece on the trunk above the license plate

When I see stickerbombed cars I assume this guy is driving.

The best way to stickerbomb is this:

1) Cover the part of the car you are going to stickerbomb in a vinyl wrap.
2) Stickerbomb over the vinyl.
3) To go back to stock, simply peel off the vinyl. No damage to the paint from the stickers.

EDIT: I would never stickerbomb my own car.

Dude, your car is brand new. Why make it look like an old $#!tbox that someone was too cheap to paint their broken lip? That's all I think of when I see a stickerbombed car. Also, clear bra! No more worry about stone chips and bug crap.
