Bullethole Stickers

Bullet hole stickers a controversial fad

Daniel Morton's two-door Honda Accord is real but the bullet holes are not.

OAK PARK, Michigan (AP) -- Some Americans are turning to an inexpensive and controversial way of customizing their cars: applying stickers of bullet holes.

"So real-looking you have to touch them with your own finger to tell," says the Web site bullet1.com, which offers vinyl stickers depicting .50-caliber holes and smaller ones that look like they came from a .22.

Doug Rock, 25, buys the stickers from a North Carolina supplier and sells them on the site. He said he's working his way through nursing school and has sold millions since 2001.

"They're a great gag item," Rock said. "Otherwise, I guess it's just for the look, it's like a fad. I honestly don't think it will fade. My business is doing nothing but growing."

Not everyone finds the stickers funny.

"It sends the wrong message to our young people," said Gregory Wims, president of the Victims' Rights Foundation in Maryland. "It's sort of like a badge of honor. It sends a bad message."

Daniel Morton, 21, placed 10 bullet-hole stickers on his 1994 Honda Accord to make it look as if it had been riddled with gunfire.

"A lot of people ask me about them and think my car got shot up," Morton said Monday. "I just try to be different."

Morton, who works for a rubber and plastics manufacturer, said it was cheaper than, say, customized wheel rims.

"I just spent a few dollars instead of $20,000," he said.

Seen them and they do look real until you look closer. Not sure why anyone would want their car to look like it's been shot though =\

Is this a new article? I've been seeing these stickers for years. Personally, I hate them. Even the old folks have them now. If you want to be different, DON'T get these stickers. Get those fake balls you can attach to your bumper.

lol, I live about three miles west of Detroit, Michigan... And the local talk radio station (97.1) has been talking about those.

The NAACP has been raising hell about those, they are saying it is portraying the ghetto in a violent light.. pft... When your local 10 pm news has a new murder or three every single night, I don't think bullet holes in cars are a false representation.
