They are pretty easy to fit as long as you take your time and follow the instructions. They should last for years but most will be noticably faded after about 5 years or so, depending on where you keep the car.

Welcome to TorqueCars lee, nice to have you along.

Personally I prefer graphics that are actually painted onto the car, they look so much better. I think a big sticker looks a bit tacky.

Well, painted graphics look better than a big sticker...I never said I liked them.

As with anything out there some look cool and others look tacky. There are some very nice sticker sets out there but you usually have to spend money to get them and they are pre cut to match your car.

depends really on the type of car, ive seen a supra round here it had a superman badge on it (thought it was quite good S for supra) but also had a big abtract graphic painted down the side in white, then with black shadows, and although i dont usually like graphics that look really cool, so in my opinion if you have a mean machine they probably look good if done right if you have a 1 ltre corsa, well it kinda speaks for itself
