Default Window Decals; Classy or Tacky?

I've got decals from the sound system I've installed, the alarm system I've installed, a couple of car communities I belong to...I'm hesitant to put them all on, because I think it would just be too much, but at the same time they do all look pretty cool and could add a nice touch. Do you guys put on decals?

It does sound like it would be a little over kill. I would get them all together and pick 2 of them at the max. Maybe three if they are tastefully done and small and will not be a distraction for other drivers.

I do not put sound system decals or alarm system decals on my vehicle. I do not wish to advertise what I have. I do have other decals though.

I myself prefer to be pretty much incognito. The only exception is if I had my own business or something like that. Then I would have a snazzy decal made for the sake of advertising my stuff.

Sorry, don't like the look of them. I have seen a lot lately that have people's names on the back glass and the year of birth and death. I DO NOT want my family to do that. I want them to think of me yes, but don't bring everyone else down with them. There is enough bad going on in this world without my bunch adding more grief or sadness to it.

I think they're alright, as long as you don't go overboard with them. One or two are fine, but more than that just looks tacky. I've seen people with decals and bumper stickers all over the bumpers, trunk lid, and window. Ewwww!

I've never understood the 'baby on board' decals. The last thing I would want is someone being distracted reading it! I think advertising an alarm system is pretty clever though.

Wow, I've never seen that. I wouldn't want to do it either, the topic is a private thing in my mind. I have a couple of soft toys that I sometimes stick to the windows but no decals.
