Okay this is for all the Xzibit wannabes out there, or for those who might actually be able to help as well. :p

I've just got myself a new car, (2007 red Toyota Camry for those who must know) and i'm looking to put a Decepticon symbol, either on the back windscreen, or on the back bumper.

But I want something of decent quality. I've had a look on E-Bay and found this. (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Transformer-badge-emblem-sticker-decepticon-80mm_W0QQitemZ350142622185QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Ca r_Parts_Accessories?hash=item350142622185&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318) Would probably look good on the bumper though i'm not sure how it'd go against the red.

Then there's the vinyl sticker (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TRANSFORMERS-DECEPTICON-Vinyl-Decal-Sticker-Car_W0QQitemZ180313339508QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car _Parts_Accessories?hash=item180313339508&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318) which could be used for the rear window and is similar to the one I had for my Commodore a few years ago (which was provided by the local comic shop).

But i'm not sure of the quality. Has anyone bought these or similar? Or does anyone have any other recommendations from tried and true sources?

And how about these seat covers? (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DECEPTICON-Black-purple-Cool_W0QQitemZ290244313191QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Ca r_Parts_Accessories?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116) Any experience with them? They seem nice ... though that 'Con symbol looks a bit iffy to me.

I just bought my brother 2 Decepticon silver symbols for the rear quarter windows on his car (Ford of course). They do look awesome even though they are on a Ford.
I have an Autobot sticker on my rear side window (Holden wagon).
We got them from one of those little Chinese guys that run a sticker stall in a major shopping centre. Good quality and good price. Really shiny silver.

I'd probably avoid those car seat covers going by the feedback. I had looked at them a few months back myself. They do look very, very iffy.

Dragon seat covers from K-Mart it is then!

I'm also toying with the idea of a nice big dragon along the sides, probably in straight black. So to keep with the whole black/red theme I might also just go with a plain black 'Con symbol on the back.

Best part is I know a guy who does it through work so I might even be able to get him to make up a "To Punish and Enslave" 'Con logo instead of just the plain one.
