 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!
