  One also forgets the handling advantages that decals, the larger the better 
(just like the wing on back), add to a vehicle! Considering that the 
thickness of a decal increases the amount of drag (wider, more drag) and as 
the airflow is only allowed to continue over the decal and along the profile 
of the vehicle thereby pushing the car toward the road surface also 
compressing the load on the springs and increasing the amount of tension on 
each spring, giving the effect of sport springs! Of course, decal placement 
will indicate the amount of downward force on the vehicle; on front a lower 
front; on the rear where the flow of air follows along the body lines, a 
lower rear. Therefore one should be sure to balance the stickers front to 
rear, adding as needed for the desired effect. 
  Following this formula, one should be able to give an 80's Honda Civic the 
handling of a Gran Prix racer! The proof is already out there, just ask any 
asian import driver!
