To each their own, but I don't like it. Maybe in Chrome

I don't guess they are horrible, more of a 'to each his own' type of thing. I might think a little smaller font would be more pleasing.

Not on my wheels. I am putting AMG labels on the SRT calipers when I paint them.

Here's an idea. Get them in all different colors an put them on every spoke!!! That would be 14, count em, 14 Crossfire decals per wheel! No'one would ever forget what your car is then! WHEEEEE!!!!!
Honestly though. Maybe if they were much, much smaller. Even still? Far down deep in my psyche where banjo's play I like them.

That looks a little 1980's-ish to me. No thanks.

Wow...I was thinking of doing the exact same thing. We should get together and knock out both cars at once.

Let's talk about that sometime. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to do it. One wheel at a time to allow two coats of paint (red for me) to dry, put the decals on, and then a clear coat?

I might even have enough AMG decals for two cars.

Looks like it will be 78 tomorrow, that paint would dry pretty quick with those temps!!!

...yard work, I'm envious:

I don't know, maybe if they were embossed, matching the color of the car & smaller, more subtle, they'd be OK.
