Opinion on stickers

Robbo112233 · Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2012 3:24 pm Post subject: Opinion on stickers

So i am thinking of getting a few stickers on the rear windows on my Beetle and was wondering what people thought of them and if anyone has any, post a picture.

Here are some examples of what i mean, they dont have to be on Beetles, or on the windows even!

I used to rock a bunch of stickers when I was younger in my teens. Now that I have gray in my beard..... I prefer the clean look.... However I do have SUBLIME sticker in my back window.... But hat because they rock!!

Sounds good, I don't want anything big or too many.

I'm thinking of getting a 'air cooled' one like in the picture above and that's all

There's a Kombi Club one on there now. I should get around to getting the AVD one and a TheSamba one too one day.

Oh, and the STP sticker fell off Sad

The great thing about stickers is you can always take them off. Don't like it, take it off. Get bored, take it off. All the stickers on my car came with the car. I only took one off because it started to peel.

Putting them on the window glass is a good idea - no damage to the paint or funny marks when you take them off.

I usually found when I had them on the car I got a lot of unwated attention from law enforcment officials.

So you may need to decide is it worth it to look cool or would you rather the cops harrass someone else.

The three on my drivers (left) rear quarter. Had a UCLA Medical on the oval window but started to peel and
visibility was pretty bad. I can do without the VVoAC sticker. I've searched for a most love car sticker, but haven't found one.

Visibility is really the issue with putting stickers on a window. Not too worried about it in my bay because I can't see too much of use through the back window anyway. It's also why I prefer vinyl decals because it's transparent between the vinyl still as opposed to a sticker which causes a totally blind spot.

Put one of these "thin blue line" stickers on and the cops may leave you alone:
