"Old Man" Car Blues
Hello, I am the owner of an older Honda Accord. It is a 4 door and a silver color. Without nothing much on it, it looks kinda like an "Old Man" car. I did buy and "Accord" decal for the front windshield and an "H" for the back window. I did apply the decals about 1 week ago. Once applied, the "Old Man" look kinda vanished. Well, just the other day I went to the car wash (one of the kind that you pay $5 to drive though) and the A and R on my Accord decal came off. This really pissed me off. Anyway... is there an alternative, cheap, durable way to make my car once again look less like an "Old Man" car? Or should I just get the decals from somewhere else and hope that they last longer?

Thanks for any info!

Well, you can start off with red/clear taillights to give it that clean look. It should run you more than 120. Check out www.autodynamic.com

No offense, but the car wash was trying to help you out. I've seen those decals and they do not look good, IMO (and I think I speak for almost anyone out there).

Clear the fronts and red / clears in the rear as mentioned above. Then drop it like it's hot
