Door decals or not?

Currently my 1990 IROC does not have door decals...Should I add them or leave it like it is? What do you guys think?

Re: Door decals or not?

I like the door decals with the pinstripes. I say both or neither. ...as for which way to go, I think it depends on you. Looks more current without any decals, but my preference is to keep the nostalgic look. If I wanted a modern look, I'd buy a modern car!!!!

Re: Door decals or not?

I say it's an IROC and the IROC's were not subtle so you should go for it. It's an 80's iconic musclecar, wear the decals with pride

Re: Door decals or not?

You have silver wheels so the decals should be silver too

Re: Door decals or not?

The lower striping looks good without the IROC-Z decal, however, the IROC-Z door decal looks ridiculous without the lower striping. I say do it all or nothing.

Re: Door decals or not?

Being of Sicilian descent, I feel I must have the billboards on the side of my car declaring I am an Italian Retard Out Cruising. Seriously, it's your car, but I prefer a stock looking car and I think they look cool with 'em. Stipe delete option makes it cool too if it's original. Your choice of course.

Re: Door decals or not?

Put 'em on... When I first got my IROC I really wanted to take mine off, but they really grow on you. If I wasn't looking at the car at the time, they seemed like they were about three feet tall, but in real life they look natural... a badge of honor of sorts. Keep it original!!!!
