Too Afraid to Ask

Decals are stickers or graphic overlays that you put on a car to change how it looks. People use them to make the car feel more personal or themed.

Technical Definition

Decals are aftermarket or factory-applied graphics (stickers) used to personalize a car’s appearance. Enthusiasts often use them to match a theme—like flags or racing liveries—or to highlight a special edition.
