Question Window Stickers: Cool or Tacky?

Hello,

Over time I have accumulated various stickers that could be placed on my car (Rennlist, PCA, Bell). On the one hand, I think it would be nice to spread the word by displaying the stickers. On the other hand, I'm a big fan of having a minimalist appearance to the car.

I'm tempted to put some stickers in the driver's side rear window. However, I'm afraid it would be tacky.

Any opinions? Anyone have pics of their car with stickers displayed? (I'm talking about street cars here, not dedicated race cars.)

Cheers,

Mark

I've got my rennlist sticker directly above my rear view. Nothing else. Doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.

I used to be sticker crazy....you should have seen the back of the Range Rover....everything from another rover decal to "La Ruta Maya"...then i stepped back and looked at it one day and didnt like what I saw.....on my cars now, I think it's tasteful to have a couple small decals of your favorite clubs and you must represent for your current college if you're currently at one....on my 944 I just have a little PCA decal, Fraternal Order of Police emblem(just in case ) and a brown u. shield.

I have my "rennlist" sticker on the passenger rear window, and I have a "University of Illinois" sticker that I'm going to put across the hatch.

I think the giant windshield banners that say PORSCHE are tacky. Or putting little Porsche decals all over the car. People who actually matter will know what it is; if you just bought it to show off, get another car.

I've got the small-letter 'Rennlist' sticker in a dark color (not very noticable) across the top of the rear hatch window, and a required parking sticker at the lower left corner of the hatch window (semi-hidden by the spoiler). That's all. No dealer stickers, no school names, certainly no Japanese graphics.

Flashy stickers lack a certain elegance that a street Porsche should convey. Different, certainly, for a track car.

I have the small rennlist sticker just below the 3rd brake light and PCA sticker at the bottom left on the hatch.

On my drivers side rear window I have the pca sticker and a scca sticker. I may add a small "T" turbonetics sticker after I add my turbo just as a hint, other than that I plan on removing the porsche lettering on the rear and then shes done sticker wise.

While I'm not sure if "rennlist" or "PCA" is tacky (I have the PCA round sticker on my driver's side rear window), I can say one thing:
Putting 1,000 stickers on your car of products that are NOT on your car is not only tacky, but RICE!

Just my $0.42.

All i Have is my small little PCA sticker... Its right below the rear brake light on the glass... however I think that a small and tastefull rennlist sticker on each rear side windows would be nice....

I got a pair of huge *** Recaro stickers when I bought my seats, haven't put them on and probably never will...

I have the Rennlist banner proudly displayed on my winshield.

My fuse box cover is covered top to bottom with stickers from places I have used for my rebuild. (Paragon, SFR, Zims, Raceware, ARP, Huntley, and on and on.)
