It's personal choice... I am actually not a big fan of em even though I have em on my 15.. I just did them for a show and seeing though it kept winning trophies I left em on.. LOL.

They can look great on the right car, and it's not a shopping list if you already have the parts :down:

I have no issues with people leaving their cars plain or putting graphics on em - personal taste varies .. thankfully or all the cars would look identical!!

personally i wouldnt put them on my car because of the attention it would attract. i dont mean from police..but i dont really like people staring at me too much. When i was in high school i used to think shopping lists were cool but now its so 1998 lol..

that being said, i have seen some of currenttrendz work and if the decal is subtle it can look very good, otherwise i would just have it for shows.

I recently put a few on my car but they are pretty much all work related. we were stuffing around with it a couple nights before we had a corporate track day (we have two commodore cup cars). We just used spares so it looked more the part. I dont really drive the car much on street and i dont really care what other people think, cos it all comes down to personal preference. Its a bit too much, but its more effort taking them off!

I have some stickers here and there on my car. It's about placement imo. dont do too many, def not a list. nothing wrong with one HKS Sticker running on an angle diagonally down ur bonnet for example.

I got a wedssport sticker running down my bonnet vertically but it's along the lines of the bonnet so it's not just 'slapped' on.

Oh yes, and SAU sticker fo' shizzle. :(

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
