don't do it dude. your car is SUPPOSED to be clean -- if you go so far as to sticker it up it better be DARN fast. i say stick with a nice spoiler or two -- win spoiler and roof spoiler. that should be sporty enough.

A.) Don't flatter yourself. Seriously, your car looks great the way it is. I like it a lot.
B.) Don't be like your ricer friends and put stickers all over your car. It's a Lexus for God's sake. Have some dignity.

Wink Spoiler

Put a rear spoiler on it and call it a day. Don't go trying to put too much into it. There's a saying "Stop while you're ahead". The car looks tight as it is, trying to put stickers on it would just ruin the entire look. Don't be a follower, damn it be a leader.

I think your car looks fantastic the way it is. I would personally stray from the ricer look on a vehicle known for luxury. Btw, I really like the wheels.

Stickers? Get out of here You're a disgrace:eek:

Your car looks clean, the lines are clean. What else can you ask for? Rear spoiler, maybe, but that's it.

There's beauty in simplicity.

I vote for clean. At your age I understand the need for advertisement, but I'd let the car make the statement, not the stickers. Did Clark Kent walk around with that big "S" showing through his T-shirt?

Style-wise, adding stickers just breaks up the simple, elegant lines of your ride. And if you put one on, you'll be tempted to do more, and next thing you know, you'll be driving yet another cartoon and find your ride pictured over on beaterz.com.

Be strong.

Default Too clean.

CamRen,
Your car is beautiful, bro.
Don't put any stickers on it, man.
Your car does look clean, but
in a mysterious sinister way. Leave it
the way it is, because it's off the hook.
Regards.

Personally, I think stickers and decals would cheapen the clean look you've already got - and I wouldn't add a spoiler either - I wish mine didn't have the spoiler - to each his own. Part of creating a "masterpiece" is knowing when to stop!

That is a true statement! My sister is a commercial artist and I even remember when she was going through art school she would tell me the two toughest strokes of a brush or taps of a chisel or whatever were the first one getting started and the last one when it's complete.

I'm not big into "modding" cars, but I think the look you have now is classy, sporty, and slick. I especially like the quad exhaust! Your friends just want you to get stickers because they are jealous of the car you have. Show a little backbone--be your own man!
