We Call Bullshit: Bullet Holes Are For The Movies
By Sean O'Hara
I’m completely in favor installing graphics one’s ride; it’s an easy way to make your mark. But fake bullet holes aren’t a mark that anyone (not in film) should make. These “holes” don’t even qualify as graphics. They’re stickers.
These might have been amusing for about five minutes in the late nineties, but now bullet hole stickers are strictly for soccer moms — and we mean normal soccer moms, not incredibly hot ones. Here’s a good rule of thumb: if the custom item you’re considering putting on the car is ever located in the automotive aisle at the grocery store — or appears next to key chains at the local parts shop — follow Nancy Regan’s advice and just say no.

But they look so cool next to my fake hood louvers! Haha.

I have yet to see someone go the extra mile and put real bullet holes into their car. It’s not that hard and it’s not that expensive either.

Just drive through South Central Los Angeles blasting country music at night. Bullet holes will just appear out of nowhere.
It continues to amaze me what kind of crap keeps getting made and how many people continue to buy them. It goes beyond asthetics but the idea of wanting to look like your car’s been shot at? What’s next, decals for rust spots, body damage, bondo patches, broken headlights, gang tags?

There are those golf/tennis/hockey puck window things that look like they’re halfway through your window. You know, for that soccer mom look.
