Obviously your van won't move. Of course that means it won't break either so you're saving money.

Well, I have two gray decals and one
black decal. The "Syncro" front and
"4WD" driver side is gray and the "4WD" pass. side is
black. I bought the
"4WD" on craigslist and did not think to check for
color. I applied the
black one and only realized it was black as I pulled the
backing paper. So
that means I leave darker thread marks on the pass. side and
lighter on the
driver side.
To answer your questions.
1. You will have less traction on the right because your 4WD
is "peeling"
off/out. Watch out when the whole decal is gone, you
will not have any
"4WD" on the right side.
2. It's not so much the flapping effect as it is there is
less weight from
the missing letters. But then again the reduction in weight
should give you
BETTER mileage.
3. Yes.
Not working cost nothing, it also pays nothing. That's
my story and I'm
sticking too it. :-) Have a great Friday night
everyone!
