My dad and I were always the ones that peeled that stuff off, preferring a more plain or sleeper approach.
He even removed the "GTO" stickers from the rear quarter of our new '68 GTO (well - they came off in the car wash, saving him the trouble).
He had removed the GTO emblem from the grille of our '65, so when I returned it to street use that was one of the corrections I had to make.
So - it is with a great sense of irony that I mention that my job now is to design graphics and racing stripes for Nissan. God or somebody has a sense of humor.
You might be able to guess where my inspiration came from.
