These are basically just stickers, really. They’re applied to the exterior of the vehicle, sometimes for identification – like VIN numbers or emissions info – sometimes for branding, and sometimes just as a cosmetic addition. They can also cover up minor imperfections. Some decals, particularly those around emblems or lettering, can help protect the paint underneath. Think of them as information tags, or little protectors. Beyond that, they contribute to the overall look of the car. A decal showing a specific engine type lets a mechanic know quickly what they’re dealing with. A VIN tag is obviously crucial for registration and ownership. Some decals are purely for show, of course, but even those contribute to the car’s appearance. While a missing or damaged decal won't stop your car from running, it can cause problems down the line. A missing VIN decal can raise red flags during inspection. Faded or peeling decals can make a car look neglected, which affects its value. Also, if a decal is designed to protect paint, letting it go missing leaves that area exposed. You’ll notice if one disappears, because the paint underneath will likely start to fade or get damaged faster. You can find replacements pretty easily; sites like Fixparts Online usually have a good selection. It’s generally a simple fix, but best to keep them in good condition, just like everything else on your vehicle. Expert assistance included: Decal (MPN 8W0010515A) has a 12-month warranty!
