What do you think?

Hey, I'm thinking about getting "Mazda RX-8" put across the top of my windshield, but the sign company's yellow is not bright enough to match the car.. what do you guys think of using white?

Here is a photo with the artwork - not a good mockup - but it's all i got.

that was me. not so much my thing -- maybe because I'm tall enough that that's the part of the windshield I look out of. But hey, I wouldn't own a yellow car either, so to each his (or her) own.

I vote leave it alone. BUT, that's just my opinion. If you like it, go for it. That's all that matters anyway. If you do decide to go ahead with it, I think white would look better than yellow.

I've avoided adding any visual "enhancements" to my yellow. That's because:

1. I'm cheap
2. The car already tells me its name every time I turn the key
3. A LY RX-8 is about the most stand-out car around, tacking on high visibility stuff would be over the top IMO.

But that's just me. If you like it and they do a quality job, go for it. At least we won't get our cars mixed up when we park next to each other!

Sorry, but that reminds me of the 80's... Put some louvered shades on the rear window and you'll have the complete package

If you are going to get a window decal, get the old standby "Slower traffic keep left" - but printed backwards so the slow pokes in front of you can read it in their mirrors.

Much better use of window space and money :D

When I see this kind of thing on other cars, I think the owner is a moron who needs to be reminded what kind of car they're driving all the time.

But, it's your car.
