Stickerbombing? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

6-Shift · 12-16-2012, 09:17 PM

I'm thinking about stickerbombing some part of my car that will get a lot of damage eventually. I was thinking either the bottom lip, the mirrors, or possibly even under the hood. Opinions on it? On certain applications I think it looks cool but then again this is a BRAND new car....If I did the front bumper it'd just be on the middle part. Also considering the rear plate above the license plate.

I know and understand that some people hate this but as a graphic designer I love the beauty of it. It works awesome in engine bays too.

Agreed. If I started getting a ton of rock chips on the front lip I'm doing it for sure. Stickers are a lot cheaper than a repaint. Although, as evidenced by my avatar comment, I am planning to keep my car as classy and functionable as possible and stickerbombing is usually saved for hellaflush and hardparked cars. The parts where it'd be easy would be the fender vent, mirror caps, rear license plate cover, and the passenger side dash. I'm super conflicted lol.

Personally I'm not a fan, but to each their own I guess.

I would maybe consider it on some parts in the engine bay. I have seen some fairly decent pictures of that done.

keep your whip clean and classy. We don't drive hondas

I would much rather do a vinyl wrap, but I guess it would be hard on black since you can't color match and there isnt really a nice contrast color (red?). Other colors I would say black vinyl and call it a day. If you had an aggressive look I would say the stickerbombing would look more natural. Stock and it would look wierd I think

This board is so bad with hondas and civics. Everyone use them as examples of bad tastes.

IMHO it's partly because they've been customized SO much, for every amazing civic there's another that's been ruined.

Agreed. My plans for the car are the 5AD kit (unless one that's less expensive and better looking comes out) and custom wheels/ a decent sized wing. Technically I AM going for the "hardparked" look but it's just what I think looks good. I was also considering doing a clear wrap under the stickers so I could take it off easily if I wanted. Honestly I'm jealous of the blue/red/white cars that have the black roof panel because that looks SICK.

It makes it look like a junior high paper mache project. Not a fan at all.
