I have seen the Cooper S across a windshield. Anybody seen others besides adverts for some other racing companies?

I would like "MOVE OVER" or a LED arrows that animate over to the right lane. Maybe the "MOVE OVER" Could be done in mirror script.

We could make these up for you and we have done several of the COOPER S windscreens. Cost $35.00.

I've daydreamed about similar ideas, but I always come to the conclusion that it wouldn't be worth it. Half the people who see it not only won't move over, they'll make it their mission in life to make sure you don't get by, and probably go slower just to make you mad.

I could certainly be dead wrong (I'm a pessimist by nature) - if you do get it, please let us know the results.

Might as well just say "HEY OFFICER, PULL ME OVER"!

And don't forget to have the image printed in reverse so that it can be read correctly in their rear view mirrors.

Cheers,

James

The sticker isn't for slow pokes in front of me. It for me when its parked. I want something for my cooper to stand out and didn't want to get the Cooper S banner.

As for attracting officers They would have to be in front of me looking back. But hey if the racing stripes and the high speed doesn't attract them, I doubt this will.

I can do vinyl or multi-color stickers. Let me know if you want something done and I'll price it right.

I have my own small family business and I got a local sign shop to put our website URL on the windshield. I mocked it up in Adobe Illustrator, printed it out in full size to check fit, and gave it to the sign company, who bent it to fit my windshield (kinda looks like a smile from head on). They cut it out and did the install. I don't remember the cost cause they also did my stripe and window logos.

Just beware, of 2 things.
1.) There is a legal size that they can be--can't obscure the vision--it's different for every state.
2.) Beware that when your windshield wiper goes, you really don't want the wiper to run over the graphic. I forgot to check this, and about the last inch of my wiper blades rub my graphics. Fortunately it doesn't rain much in CA, so I don't have to use them much.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to work up the design and have cooper flags do it.

I will check the laws and more importantly, the windshield wipers.

Think like a cop put "Move Over!" in big letters and then find out your states law/code. Then put the code in smaller letters under it. If you get stopped, just say you are just doing your part.
