sounds like a personal choice to me. tape them on different locations, step back and decide

or scan to computer and chop it on

there's nothing wrong with representing aftermarket parts.

put it in the middle of your rear quarter windows. looks nice, that's where i have it.

and for the people who think it looks stupid, that's fine. no need for your comments.

Well if you are sponsored by them then there is nothing wrong, but if not........

all you are doing is advertising for a company that probably overcharged you a for a part that cost them half as much to make. Is it that important to you to "show off" what you have in and on your car? The brutal and honest truth is, nobody gives two $h!ts about what you have. You just give them more reasons to laugh at you. Of course thats just my opinion, I could be wrong

^^ Of course it cost them half to make it ... that is called profit and is why a company is in business. They arent going to sell you something for what it cost to make it

As far as advertising.. no they dont pay you to advertise, so you are just providing free advertisement.. but big deal. If you wear any clothing with a brand name on the front you are doing the same thing. But I could care less about that.

But, I dont like graphics, stickers, kits or anything else that takes away from the clean look of the car. Just my opinion though. If I had to pick I would say rear quarter window.

I know what profit is and I know how business works. Thats not what I was emphasizing. I was emphasizing the free advertisement.

I don't know if I agree with the statement that its the same as wearing a shirt with the brand name on it. By buying an aftermarket product and putting it on or in your car, you are already advertising for them. Its more like buying a shirt that says nike on it, and then wearing a "swoosh" sticker on your forehead. Just unnecesary.

The main reason I think putting stickers on a car is stupid, is because you are just displaying a shopping list of things people can steal from your car.

eh ... all this talk about how much you do/don't like stickers and such on a car has absolutely nothing to do with the question ...

I think the best place for the sticker is centerd near the lower edge of the quarter window. I've seen some with a single decal on the front windshield where the rear view mirror is. maybe even lower corner of the wind deflector.

Otherwise, what was said before is good... just take it up in places, step back and see what you think.

My personal opinion is not to use the stickers at all, but if you like the manufature's all over your car, there you go.

I think it would go well on the windshield right in front and just above steering wheel height. That way you can always remember that your car has the almighty injen intake.

You know what would be even better, put it on backwards so when you speed up on someone and they glance up to see your face, they see that your cars is equiped with an injen intake through their rear-view mirror. Then they know they have no chance of beating you!

agreed with the don...

under the hood. that's where the part is. put it on the radiator frame brace - ive seen some tc's do it


but keep in mind. the first decal sets the tone and color for others - keep em all one color, if you dont think u can, then dont start to 'patch' around different decals.. keep it clean

It's your car... just slap it on the rear quarter panel window low and keep any other decals the same color...

Lift up with Pride people who make parts for your car.... I'm not sponsored by anyone, but advertise the hell out of the parts I have, cause I want them to succeed and sell MORE parts.... build up the Aftermarket for SCION!!!!! I couldn't count the number of things that companies have sold as a result of someone seeing a decal, or my pics online here.... word of mouth, decals, shows... these things really help the aftermarket, which helps us modify our cars!

Since you have a BSP car make sure your injen decal is red in color that would nicely contrast your black color. And I would post it on the rear side windows like everyone been saying.

Also recommend dont put up too much decals a few will be fine. Keep it "simple and clean".
