These are just vinyl wrap / decal, should be completely removable without leaving any marks!

2 more pics per request. (Before Bilstiens-lowers approx 1" - and lightly smoked front/rear lights. Will take updated pic after next cleaning)

I personally like subtle style changes in general ("subtle" being very subjective) - but I think the stripes give it a very aggressive look and feel. I have a decent collection of striping on Porsche and other exotics since i have been considering this for a while - i will post some later.

Oooh....cool product. Anyone have any pics of the Tire Stickers?

Funny because I have hand painted white lettering on my slicks using a tire paint pen - it was such a PITA and it lasted one day and then turned yellow and peeled.

Would love to know if these Tire Stickers are a good product or just more junk.

Jonhunt is infamous around these parts
I don't care for it, but the ones that do appeal are the ones that are subtle.
