How do you guys feel about displaying decals and haveing very noticeable mods on your car. Do you think they promote theft or deter it. I know most people will probably say promote but think about this. If you car is being stolen, not just broken in to, isn't a dropped cherry red camaro with a gigantic RF in the back window pretty easy to spot for a cop commpared to a white sedan.

It is more noticeable if the guy is out driving it around, but if it is parked in some alley being stripped all you will find is the sticker. The more people who notice your car the more likely it is to be stolen. I've had a system of one kind or another in my car for 10 years, and have never had one broken into (thank God), but I have also NEVER done any type of outside modifications on any of the cars I have driven. To include rims, while this may seem excessive, nothing has ever been stolen. Stickers plainly say "STEAL ME".
