Default To decal or not

Thinking of adding graphics/decals, what's people's opinion ?
Am thinking subtle like the swoosh on rear and either side of spoiler and then something on the fog lamp covers.
Would you go further with the sides as well or not at all ?
interested in people's view/opinion on this

I think decals can work well but gotta be careful. If you just slap something on, chances are it's not gonna do the car any favors. I like most of the factory decals.

was thinking the back and spoiler similar to that but not the sides, then maybe fog lamp covers and side of front bumpers. Not ott but give it a little something extra in looks

Leave it classic.

Unless you actually are going to use it on rallys, I wouldn't bother with decals.
