Cool What to do with all these stickers

We all have ordered a part for a truck/car and we usually get a sticker from the company like Jegs,Summit,Edelbrock, etc. So what do you guys do with all those stickers. Feel free to post pics and describe what you do with all those stickers.

Re: What to do with all these stickers

I go to an office supply place and buy a sheet or two of magnetic material. It looks like a thick piece of paper. Peel off the backing of your sticker, press it to the magnet sheet, then carefully trim around the sticker. Now you can put the sticker anywhere there's some steel, and remove it when you want to without any damage to the paint or sticker.
I do the same thing with dash plaques.

Re: What to do with all these stickers

trash can, they either have to pay me or give me the part to have me advertise. I even go as far as removing the plate frames and any decal the dealers put on my rides. Just my thing I guess.

I even hate buying clothes that have labels of the maker. Most of the time its just a status or a way for them to get you to pay for advertising.

I'm right there with you on that one. My wife bought her honda at Lynnwood Honda and it came with their license plate frame on it. She took it to Auburn Honda for service and came back with their frame on it and the other discarded. I know it's a minor issue but they do not have any right to make that decision. I thought about telling them to buy me a new frame from their competitor and send someone here to install it. Petty, but irritating none the less.

Re: What to do with all these stickers

Not much of a sticker guy. Got a bunch in a drawer, got a few on my old rollcab. Did put some on the glove box door on my old race truck, though.
