But nothing is wrong with having a sticker to set yours out from the bunch, unless you're a criminal I don't see why not.

I'm sure if it weren't for Ford Forum stickers we may have less people..

Some people like to promote the good job done by their tune shop as well as a simple thanks.

I've seen those southern cross stickers, but I always thought they were a Commodore accessory

Default Re: Stickers on cars ( especially back window? )

Dealership i bought my car from stuck their sticker on my rear window... I removed it before i left the lot... I paid for the car and if they want to advertise they should pay me for it. Also the place i get my car serviced stuck stickers on either side of my windows...they didnt last long either! The only sticker i have on my car is the SES 132 500 sticker on the rear window. Im proud to be a member and im not ashamed to show it. I dont mind stickers on cars as long as long as they arent too 'out there' which is subject to personal opinion.. But in the end its up to the owners personal taste...

It's just stickers...no ones twisting anyone's arm to put them on or take them off a car.

What a load of crap. I dont have to JUSTIFY a sticker to you or anyone. Are you paying for my car?
But yeah the stick i posted i get bits cheaper from but nothing major, im just a loyal customer along with many owners of the same make of car that use the same workshop.

That's simply my opinion, which is what the OP was asking for.

If I see any car with a 'go fast workshop.com/fullyhectic.etc' sticker on it you can safely assume that the sticker is compensating for a lack of hp under the bonnet or driver skill (or announcing to the general public 'I coulda/shoulda/woulda been a racing driver and this woulda been my car except for - insert pitiful reason here).

The best looking cars (regardless of whether they are an Aston or Fiesta) are void of stickers, plastic bodykits, ridiculous FPV/HSV wings (that do zero on the road, other then add aero drag) - unless you're 14 and reading Hot4s....

I just removed the dealer sticker from the back window of my car. As it's a ute, I am going to replace it with some bogan style stickers. Like Buffalo Horns, or the bundy bear. I need something really feral for my ute.

If you wanted feral you should have left that particular dealer's sticker on it

Don't worry. I saved the sticker. It has prime location on the outside of my wheelie bin.

This is my sticker. I like it because it's personal, uncommon but relatable.

I have no problem with window stickers......unless it's a Southern Cross or Unit sticker, of course.

Sorry about the quality also.

Lol

There are "rules" on how people put stickers on cars?


Isn't car modifing about personal expression and to a degree Social Non - conformity?

I've seen at least a dozen of those "Making my family" stickers on cars in the last month alone (there's 2 of them in my street for starters). They're not particularly funny nor original....
