The ECS Tuning one looks great on the driver side rear window, towards the front. Nice sticker.

Don't clutter up your car with advertising. If you must use them, the tool box is an obvious choice. Or better yet, don't muck up your toolbox. Buy a nice sheet of plastic at Tap Plastics and rig it up for hanging. Put the stickers on the sheet. That way when you get tired of the idea, you can just toss it.

Less is more. Pick one and put the rest on your toolbox or trapper keeper or whatever.

Anywhere on the car!

I'm surprised you haven't put them all on yet! That's like +50rwhp revving to be unpeeled!

no, but seriously Maybe do the ECS sticker top middle of the back window and then do the rest on your toolbox.

On a primered late 90s Honda Civic with a fart pipe and springs that were heated in order to lower it.

Lol...trapper keeper

If you really want them on your car, go for the under the hood option.

The "Alta" decals might look nice on the lower corners of the rear windows. Whichever ones you use, if you put them on glass they'll come off easily should you change your mind. No risk.

I'd put them in a folder in your filing cabinet.

It's your car... put them where ever you want.

I'm surprised with the response a bit in here actually... it's not your car, it's his. He's looking for location advice on his car, not on his tool box, not in his file cabinet. IF you don't think they'd look good on his car, fine. But he didn't ask that.

Personally, I'm going to be putting a few manufactures stickers on my car because I like the look. And ya know what? That's great cause it's my car. And they're only vinyl, if he gets sick of them or decides he doesn't like the look, he can take them off.

There's many things I don't like on peoples cars, but guess what, it's not my car, so more power to them. There's many things I'm sure people wouldn't like on my car, guess what, it's MY car.

Just this thing just kinda bugs me. I could come up with a few ideas for him, such as: rear window, side windows, side of car, front window, a pillar, roof, and I'm sure there are other ideas.

Don't get testy here, Bishop Gideon. If somebody wants to complain about the posts, it should be the OP. Besides that, if you will read the original post again, I think you will see that the OP asked where the decals should be put and while he/she did include photos, didn't specify on his/her car.

I'm a testy kinda guy sometimes.

You don't think he included photos to be given ideas of where to put them on the car? Really? Honestly?

You may be over-thinking it. This is all fun among friends.



Everyone who has offered an answer has actually answered the OPs question. S/he did ask for suggestions after all. I suggested a file in the filing cabinet b/c that's where I keep all my stickers (except the "actual size" one)

EDIT TO ADD:
The K&N "stop sign" sticker actually serves a purpose to let oil change people know they shouldn't bother with the air filter. So that one should go under the hood on the air intake box cover.

What about you, atraain. As the OP, do the responses bug you?
