Help me decide where to blace a 22inch long decal on my car

I have a decal that is 22 inches long and I was wondering if you have any ideas where I can put it. I was thinking of putting it on the back bumper, just above the license plate area. What do you guys think or suggest?

Most people on the forum dont like decals or bodykits. Id have to go along with the crowd and say dont put it on at all.

Unless your car is sponsored, I don't see the point of decals.

I am choosing to be blunt on this one since I am already in the mood from the 'tight as ****' post. Unless they are paying you to put on the decal why in the hell would you ever consider it? Because they asked you to? They still charge you for the work they do right? Let me put it this way, ever see guys cruising around in their Porsches or Ferraris with stickers and decals all over them? Unless they are a track car only you never see it.. know why? Because it looks ridiculous and most people who own those cars have enough taste to realize that. You will look like a wannabe.. period. These cars are getting too cheap now to avoid ownership from people who insist on cheapening them.

I think stickers as a general rule are Gay. But sometimes there are exceptions. 1 would be as a sponsored vehicle. Some windshield decals are ok if your into that but most people would agree its Kids stuff and another occasion would be on your minivan i.e. My Kids a Honor Roll student etc etc, Soccer Mom. Blah Blah.. See what I mean?

No it wouldn't look good. I'm guessing your car is no where close to looking like, nor does it have the ballz of the one in the new turbo magazine...

Keep stickers off, especially 22" ones..

I think stickers might be like tattoos. You just want one and then later you want another... and then another.. I have a bunch of stickers I got from some performance parts if you want some more later.

Like I stated earlier, unless your car is sponsored, there's no point to stickers and decals IMO. A friend of mine has a sponsored Accord and the companies pay for the work that's done to his car, and he gets to keep the rims, dash kits, etc...now in my friend's case, I wouldn't mind the company's stickers on my car. The moving advertisement is the way he pays them.

SupraKiller: If they're doing the work for free then slap on the sticker. But 22 inches?
