Probably because he figures with all that extra crap on his car he will usually be behind most any other car and he wants you to be able to read it in your rear veiw mirror.

My guess anyways. ;)

Some stickers are made to be applied inside, others are made to be seen correctly in a rear view mirror. In that guy's case, he probably had one for the right side, and then mirror imaged it for the left.

...and didn't think about the results.

I understand why, after looking at the photo, he did the backwards lettering on the passenger's side, but it's still stupid!!!

It's the spiderweb motif he's trying to carry off......the driver's side is the same as the passenger's side, but has the logos the right way. But if you think of a spider's web, you can see through it and such and can circle around and look at it from behind. So, at least from what I can tell, he's trying to pull off a spider's web thing with the logos........the driver's side is the front of the web, the passenger's side is looking at the web from the rear, hence the logos reversed on that side.

The sad part is that car is probably ridiculously fast.....too bad it has so many damned graphics.

It's a drifting thing... a trend...

The sponsors here sure are making a killing out of it though.
