Default Windsheild Decals??????????

I just got these crazy decals, and i was sizing it up to see how it would fit before actually putting it on, and as you know, the top of the windsheild is curved and the decal is straight. I was just wondering how in the world did anyone get one on without having it crumple up. One idea i had is to trim some off the top middle of the decal, please if anyone can help. thanks to anyone.

im in support of decals, maybe that because i grew up in the riceboy culture, but i think decals on a Stook is better than a decal on a civic with 125hp don't you think? plus u should have the parts that the decal advertises or race team etc. as in question of putting them on, u could show me a picture of sumthing and i could try to help you, no guarratees tho
wellz gud luck

Unless you are sponsored or you actually have serious mods to back up the decals, don't do it.

The S2000 on the side and the H on the front and back are all you need to impress anyone.

Decals look just like...decals. Damn near every punk has them on their car. The only respectable cars with decals are heavily sponsored and have the parts and driving talent to back them up.

Might as well put baseball-cards in the spokes to make it sound faster.

i would have to agree that decals are quite cheezy. it doesn't really matter how "nice" they happen to look. the whole "idea" of putting decals on a car is cheezy. Its like wearing black dress shoes with white socks.

Actual race cars (CART, F-1, Touring, etc.) have decals, logos, and themes on them for a very good reason. It is because they are being paid by the respective sponsors to put them on as advertisement. No stickers = no advertisement = no sponsorship = no money = no team. Now, unless you are being paid by a company (be it anything from K-Mart to Bosch) to advertise their products, it is really lame to put them on your car. AAAnd, even if you were really sponsored or supported in some way by these brand names, why would you drive around with this advertisement on your car? It looks, well, kind of stupid anywhere other than on a track. And as for stickers which sport the names of so called "clubs" and "racing teams", well, it sounds like a bunch of ricers that hang out and fix up cars. Could that really be considered a "racing team?" (you've seen them, those stickers that say "Team this and that", "Team such and such") Unless you all have your racing licenses, race on a circuit, have dedicated race cars, crews, equipment, sponsorship, etc., etc., are you really a "race team?" Probably not. More like a bunch of guys who are really into their cars and participate in show events, and perhaps really knowledgable about fixing up cars the "right" way, but that is still not a "racing team". I'd consider these things before cheezy-ing up an otherwise nice car.
