Things to put on your front windshield/back glass?

I know this is a LONG way off for me, but I was curious. My car already says 'Far Beyond Driven' on the windshield. Being somewhat of a Pantera fan, I was gonna put 'Vulgar Display of Power' on there but since I got beat by most everything on the road. I didnt.. But after my turbo swap Im thinking of putting that What do you guys think?

Maybe on the back glass a 80 cu in 3 moving parts sticker?

Well to tell you the truth I'd just rip the stickers off the car, less is more if you ask me. You'll get pulled over less, hell you will already get pulled over too much with that loud 13bt that you'll have in there

How about this for the back, in small letters;
"If you can read this, either...
You're driving too close to me, I'm about to beat your ***, or...
You've spent too much time reading this and you're about to crash into the guy coming the other way. Look up, stupid! Look up now!"

I've reached that point in life where I don't like hassles, so the glass will remain without garnish on my SE....But back in my wilder days the rear of my 65 buick GS said "Ban low performance drivers - not high performance cars" and I always hold a fond memory of being blown away in my 427 chevelle by a camaro with "Sucking gas and hauling ***" painted on the rear spoiler. Ah the seventies were quite a time...sigh.

While not into stickers ala. NASCAR, nor am I into a buck naked ride. I've found that running the stickers of the shops that do the specialized stuff like aluminum welding and powder-coating will get you a deep discount on their services. Any mfg sticker that is a product I am actually using will also end up on the car if it can balance what has already been put on the car. It's gotta have nice graphics and be in the 1.5"X3" range to make the cut.

I have a "Use Less Stuff" sticker on mine, but that would seem a little out of place on an overpowered modded sports car.

WT had all of the original owners' (first dad, then daughter) college stickers, to which I added a couple bumperstickers.

The '85 has all of the original dealer stickers in the side window... inspection sticker and the "'80-81 '82-83 '84 IMSA GTU" sticker. Gotta have *that*.

Back in the late 80's when every dumbshit who had ever wanted a Mustang put that 5.0 emblem on the side of their Ford car or truck. I decided I wanted to display the displacment of my 80 RX7. So I went and had a local printer run me off a few 1.1 stickers. Most people laughed until they had to stare at that sticker between stop lights.

Suzuki Swift's, Geo Metro's, and Subaru Justy's came with 1.3 liter engines in some configurations. I saw a Suzuki Swift GT in traffic the other day. It had 1.3 badge on it. (It comes stock.)

I thought to myself... Hmmm.. That'd be perfect for a 13B car.

Also, Some Older Hondas came with 1300 badges. (To denote a 1.3 liter 4 banger, duh.)

Snag some of these at the bone yard.

On second thought. Dont.

I am still trying to find the reverse lettered "slow cars move right" banner that went across the window top.
