I am really wanting to swap out the Termignoni decal on my new carbon fiber pipes.  I came across two different ones that I like.  Just not sure if I want ANY chrome on this bike or not....I swore when I bought it that I wouldn't let chrome near it but I do like this decal.

What do you guys think?



Or this one....

Not too flashy  Cool.

Termi decals on mine are like the top picture, but gold outline rather than chrome...

  Nether are too flashy at all. I have a large scratch across my sticker and was thinking of adding the CF/gold version. I've never seen the red version before, that one will work also.

This is only one man's opinion but I think one should never place faux carbon stickers on anything... your termis and your Monster deserve better.

That's funny Nate.  One of the only reasons I got the termis was that I could have them rolled into my payments when I purchased the bike.  laughingdp

The top ones are $10 for the pair, but the red and black one is $20...which I think is crazy for two 2.5" stickers lol

I agree, that's why I am leaning towards the red/black combo.  But 20 bux for a little stickers sucks lol

No way José.  I just took the red white and blue ones off.  I think i like the look of not having them on.

What'cha think?!?

^^  Looks good  waytogo

I definitely prefer no decals at all to the red/white/blue originals.

This is only one man's opinion but I think one should never place faux carbon stickers on anything... your termis and your Monster deserve better.
The fake carbon Termi decals actually do come up lookin' pretty good... and way better than the genuine vinyl decals which come as stock on your oh-so-precious Termi cans  Wink.

IIRC, Nate's "toomuchmoney" decals are the outline only - no backing.... so if the fake CF does offend your eyes then those decals allow the glory of the underlining real carbon fibre to show through  waytogo.

That's correct...I can weed the vinyl so there is no text.
