    To banner or not to banner?

    So, now that I finally got around to ripping off my old Bav Auto winshield banner, Tire Rack sends me five windshield decals... I LOVE my car's new cleaner look but Tire Rack is a great company that we deal with a lot at the shop and I would happily support them. Should I suck it up and advertise (not to mention hide my V1 from prying eyes) or should I keep it clean and live with cops bugging me?

    Thanks,
    Brendan

    Tape it on and take a picture of it on the car. Lets see how it looks.

      I did a banner because I replaced my OEM mirror with a wink mirror. The way I have it installed meant the visors had to go. In FL the morning and afternoon drives usually mean blinding sun. So while I am not a banner fanatic it does serve a purpose.

        No banner!!! It's just takes away from the look in my opinion.

            Keep the stickers in the sticker book. Or on your toolbox, or workbench, or anywhere other than your car.

                Yeah, all the racers run tire rack banners but I don't race very much and it's main purpose would be to promote a business partner while hiding my V1...

                      Ok, I just needed a second opinion. It will stay bannerless.

                        I really doubt anybody is going to see your windshield and say "hey, I should shop at Tire Rack"!

                        Keep ti off.

                          The racers run tire rack banners because at most/all national events it's required for some reason.

                            only solid black or black tinted windshield banners for sun reasons IMO.
