Should I??

Well, the side "Formula" decals were removed a while back. My question is, should I replace them? not with something different, but with the stock "Formula" decals?

Here is a pic of how it looks now


The folowing is a pic of how the stock "Formula" decal looks, I already have these and they are the exact duplicate of what I originally had


Should I? just looking for opinions, thanks

I think it looks fine the way it is, but putting the decals on wouldn't make it look bad either.

Im not sure if the regular Formula stickers fade from a light color to a dark color or what.... but if you do put the decals back on.... get some that are only black (fading to clear/color of the paint). That would look awesome on a dark greenish color. Subtle too. Almost like not having them unless you look close.

The decals I have are original OEM, they are a dark grey on the botton and fade to a light grey on top.

I think it looks great they way it is too. The original paint is immaculate. The reason I am considering this is because I too (Like some of you) go for the stock appearance look.

I looked for the decals for a while then finally found some, but now I can't decide. Oh well, I have a while to make up my mind, it's not spring yet.
