Does anyone have those big "NO FEAR" stickers anymore?

Default Up for air to swim against the tide...
I've now seen two VR/VS Commodores with VZ SS air vents behind the front wheels. I think it looks a little like they're trying to hard.

One of them also had Monaro 'nostrils' in the bonnet. At least that's better than putting XB/XC nostrils on a Holden I guess.

R32 and R33 skylines especially when they r in poor condition with a black bonnet, dont mind r34 cos i havnt seen many. I hate these mainly cos the owners think they r unbeatable/untouchable.

WRX's cos im seeing more of these than ss sedan/utes these days, and most have those >90 db exhausts ffs. I find that damn boxer warble ANNOYING !!!

Silvias/180sx's, Im cool cos my car is teh Driftah.

Canons on cars like commodores and falcons...why oh why.

Why cant there be more old skool v8 muscle, also xr8's etc, specially with a nice exhaust, mmm mmm. (Before anyone answers that, yes petrol prices is a reason, but it was meant to be a rhetorical question )

Guys check out that link and that is a very common sight especially in Melbourne.

Chapel Street Commodores, with older model hubcaps and clear tail lights, opinions?

God i hate those clear tail lights on commodores, thankfully i only ever see em on the round *** models vt/vx and monaro.

Theres a silver GT falcon in my street at work, it has those clear lights on the back, they are a bit different and actually dont look that bad, the car is mercury silver and they kinda blend in with the colour. Still would look better standard tho.

Thanks for the info. Now it makes sense, but people I knew who had the NO FEAR sticker never showed any sign of interest in bikes. I think they just stuck on their car coz it looked cool.

It reminds me of something I observed while waiting in a fast food drive through. A hatchback in front of me was driven by a female and it had stickers similar to "HOT B!TCH" and "NASTY GIRL" on it. A group of young males walked through the drive through and saw it, stopped and started hassling her about it. I think prominent stickers like that are just asking for trouble, especially audio brands!

One of my neighbours has a VT or VU with the red boot section and he put on rear Altezzas. It looks ridiculous now. This big rectangular red section with square ends leading into silver clear lights.

Lancer Revolutions? I think you mean Evolutions, aka EVOs.

They're usually coupes too. A real pet hate of mine is the coupe with Evo kit. They're a goddamn Mirage Cyborg in Japan, not a real Lancer.
