yay or nay

Greetings,
Although I've just registered, I have been following the forums for a while now and am grateful for the wealth of information that is shared here. I'm still breaking in my B.G.' 24 and recently had a full PPF done. While it was in I decided to try a little accent color and I'm struggling with the decision whether to keep or delete it. Wouldn't mind some feedback positive or negative.Name:  20240316_083659.jpg

The hood doesn't look bad, but not a fan of the sides.

Not a fan of either (not a reflection of what you did but I am not a fan of adding stickers, stripes, decals, etc).

Not a fan, but to each their own.

You asked, so I would say delete all. Doesn't add anything.

It's not "yay or nay", but "Yea or Nay". I know this is what you really came looking for :P

I look at your car and I see a nice car. I think I would like the decals if other mods were done. Are you thinking of lowering it and adding a front lip and sideskirts? Maybe larger wheels too? I can see it working with those.

If you're planning on keeping it stock as-is, I don't think it's working too much, it's looking like the car is trying too hard, like a Mopar... Since you asked you seem to be on the fence. See if you're modding further, and roll with it. If not, I vote to remove them (if it were my car).

Car still looks great though!

I knew that I could rely on you for honest feedback. I was not feeling it when I saw it. The wife was into it, a couple of cars and coffee buds seemed to like it too much, and I figured after the time and expense invested I would give it a while to see if my perspective changed. Thanks for smacking some sense into me. The grammatical correction was a nice bonus too.

I have the hump on my Bronco hood in black vinyl. They say it reduces sun glare. I think it would look good on the M2 just black without the highlight and just on the hood. A black roof would help.

Execution is good, I wouldn't do it, but the quality looks good from these pictures. If you like it, keep it...doesn't look crappy.

Yes. I really wanted to like it, but I knew the moment that I stepped into the bay, that it didn't work for me. I was trying to give it some time to maybe learn to appreciate it or see a way to change it, but I found myself getting agitated whenever I opened the door to the garage and the light came on.

I thought the hood decal looked pretty good & tasteful. But that's just me.

Might have looked good without the blue pinstripe, that made it look like an EV. Preference are cars without any decals, only exception of course are old school muscle cars.

Have to agree with this opinion...
