Keep it or take it off?

I've been wanting a window decal for a while and made a tiger paw for the rear windows. I'm not sure if I like it or not. Gonna leave it on for a while and see if it grows on me. It's DSG to match the other decals/overlays/inlays on my truck. What do you guys think? I'm at a toss-up. I like it but I think it messes with the clean look of the truck. I'll get a better pic tomorrow.





Before and After:

Think it would look better/good if it was the color of your FX4 decals and didnt stick out so much.

I'll try and get a better picture of it tomorrow. It's the same color as the outline of the FX4 Decals. I didn't do the flat black (which is the inside color of the decals) because I wasn't sure if it would show up at all. It looks different in different lighting situations. It's not quite as silver-ish as it looks in the pic.

Thanks Jeepin!

x2.. If I ever throw a decal on the rear window it's gonna be in dsg or something along those lines.. the white just sticks out too much

edit - ahh.. I see you said it actually was DSG.. well in that case I'm sure it was just the lighting.. my decals show up silverish in pics too.. get a pic from behind.

It is DSG. The pic makes it look white/silver-ish.

You don't HAVE to put a sticker there, most people I know will have a sticker that has some significance to them such as:

the name of a band, a suspension component they are proud of, the family in stick/cartoon figures, etc. sometimes less is more but if the paw print has meaning for you, it will undoubtedly stay or you wouldn't have put it there to begin with.


Start a thread and see: "What stickers are on your back window?"

i would make with black, then it's there but you gotta look to see it, maybe outline it with a tiny dsg outline. but it looks fine now too though, takes away from the clean look you had going though.
