Tire Stickers. Cool or not?
At SEMA there was a lot of cars using these tire stickers. https://www.tirestickers.com/ What do you think about it for a road car?

Nah. Permanent painted raised lettering looks okay, so long as it's not overpowering.

I'm starting to soften my opposition. It's a retro style car, and back in the day you HAD to have white letter tires. I think it goes well with the style of the Camaro when not overdone.

Raised white letter tires ARE part of the muscle motif. Not sure if these stickers are it... but surely they should start making raised white tires again. I just got some retro BF Goodrich's with raised white letters for one of my older Vette's, just to stay period-correct.

If they made them to match and fit over the tire's branding, I'd be interested

In the early 90's I had an '86 Regal and an '85 Grand Prix with Eagle ST's and they had raised white lettering and I thought that was the shit back in the day. If I had a G body or an older car I would definitely put on tires with RWL. But I don't particularly care for it on modern cars.

Please, don't let us revert to white sidewalls!

I loved the look of RWL on my truck, but that's a 75 ratio sidewall. The letters look best when contrasting against a wide sidewall, IMO. Not sure I care as much for a on thinner tire. And, for my money, it's gotta be the tire itself, not an overlay.
