95% of them look like *** ... imho

Tint would be OK as long as the side/back windows are tinted as well.

Kerry, I think you should leave off a banner.

Get the tint strip definitely, I think it makes a car look a lot more aggressive.

As for the banner... probably a bad idea, but it's 10x worse if you put fbodymotorsports on there.

Just put a tint bar on it. Not to wide though. As for the company logos, why would you? Unless your sponsored by them, I dont see the point.

If you're set on a banner, do it in black! Ghost banner!

The only banner idea i've heard that i like, is the ghost banner idea. sounds like it would look tubular. Personally the only banner i would put on my car would be my website url, or um my cell phone number cause that would be rad? ......... sorry i got nothing.

But tint strip definetly!

No and No.

Banners/tint strips are too loud and silly looking for me. Although, Abubaca's does sound pretty cool as it's subtle...

Actually I was talking about that thirdgen.org sticker. That thing has the potential to make any car instantly look cheap. Looks like he just slapped it in a random spot.
