My high school ride said I was trying way too hard. My 1982 Chevy cavalier had more stickers than a NASCar. All skiing or water polo related. My pops let me paint my own racing stripes on it. windows didn't roll up.... but damn was it rad. Next was the Bronco. There I kept it clean just a few strategically placed important to me sticker. It called out I'm still fun but also I have matured. Now with the Excursion I have just two. Both Die cuts One is the company I work for the other is the state I call home. Represent with out being obnoxious.

all my stickers are skiing related:

Cy Whitling (these are the best stickers buy some from him)
ON3P
Panda Poles
Hoodcrew
Dakine
and the cliche backcountry goat... But I will say I had the backcountry goat before everyone who found out it was free and only goes outside once a month got it

Newschoolers sticker and a sticker representing my home hill. Doesn't say much.

Saving my rad ON3P, Tall T Prod, and custom "sconnie" sticker for my next car in April.

As soon as you purchase a vehicle the value decreases. Goo gone also works.

Dennis_ReynoldsHave you ever seen a Mercedes with a sticker on it?


Yes. Plenty of skiers that have money AND like to represent skiing (imagine that) here in SLC have decals on their precious Mercedes.

I only throw on NationwideProductions and 1320CC stickers mostly for meet nights. IMO, they say I'm into the scene and down to race (race me!).
That being said, I'm sure the day I get pulled over in Denver and the officer sees them they're going to throw the tickets at me but that was probably inevitable. I take them off from time to time and switch it up with new colors so they aren't always on the car

Yup, that's the big one for me. Understated, under the radar, and no reason to think I'm doing anything suspicious is my program.

Folks with stickers generally fall under two categories-

1). Young adult "repping" their favorite companies, or stickers the deem cool.

2) adult that are tacky, loud about their opinions, and generally immature.


Those are not the things I generally want to be associated with, personally.

Plenty of stickers, & plenty of compliments(not necessarily on the stickers).

Name of the build is: TheSkiingJeep

I also disagree with the notion that stickers are anti-classy, & speak to immaturity. Stickers can go either way, either being on a clean, well kept vehicle, or being on a beat up rust bucket.

Stickers also happen to be a great conversation starter, & can add a little bit more personality to the vehicle, particularly at vehicle shows, sponsor shows, or whatever it may be.

Not everyone wants their vehicle to be just another vehicle that came off the factory line, identical to all the others. Seeing 20 people driving BMW X5's where the only difference is that half of them aren't black, isn't something I could ever enjoy myself being in.

If interested in the build, & the progress it's making, you can google the name, & find it on a certain jeepy forum.

I'm not sure what education has to do with it. I have a dozen stickers on my Audi and 8 years of post secondary. Money isn't important to me.

It has a connotation of the owner not being a mature, serious adult. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it will draw unwanted attention from police, and will convey that same message to people who value a certain amount of mature seriousness eg. your boss, a potential client, your soon to be father in law haha.


Idk, i like both sides of the fence. I have my shit fully together and like progressing in that aspect of my life, but i also enjoy the not so serious or mature part of life haha. I dont feel the need to loudly (which is what youre doing with your vehicle) express myself every damn time i step into my car haha.

Literally identical story with different vehicles.

Wrangler I thought I was a sponsored off-road driver.
CTS was toned down
Truck I have two flat black die-cuts on black windows - my college and my favorite company

but you're also taking shit way too seriously if you think the added millisecond of cops attention you're going to grab will affect you, or anyone else here. People who I hang out with bomb their windshields (front) with stickers and generally no one gets messed around with unless they're actually in the process of doing illegal shit.

making things look nice is not immature, the community surrounding vehicles and doing proper vinyl work is probably more lucrative than whatever you're doing right now lol.

I know stickers are something cops are taught to look for, I'd rather be invisible.

Stickers make the car standout, and personalize it. Nice is in the eye of the beholder ;) and a large percentage of the population thinks stickers are just as tacky as jeans with graphics etc. If you think it looks cool, why do you care what I think? But you should be aware of the impression your car gives others.

And yes, I'm sure the very upper end wrap guys make a good living... what is your point in regards to that?

You've brought going ahead in life and being mature into this thread, I figured I'd relate a few people I know who are probably making more money than you. You do not hold the opinion of the vast majority, and you're still bringing cops into this.

You care too much, that is the point I started off with and it's the point i'll finish off with.

They likely do not make more than i, the exception is not the rule (kinda like tats and long hair), and yes, cops are taught that stickers on a car means suspicious.

YOU care too much. You're the one spending money on vinyl stickers, and getting butthurt about what others think of them.

I'm just answering the thread prompt.

I never put any stickers on my car to keep blended in.

when people have stickers on their car it says "I'm under 25 years old". and since I drive a volvo s60 I can only assume people think I'm and old man, and I'd like to keep it that way. cops don't look twice.

I generally drive pretty beater cars. I don't usually speed, and I don't smoke, so I'm not ever worried about cops or resale value.

So I have a lot of stickers, just because I like to rep people I'm friends with, and they make my scion look less like a sorority girl owns it.

But I only put a sticker on my car if I have a personal relationship with something to do with the brand or place.

That's interesting, I live in LA and have a few stickers on my back windshield, as well as VT plates after 7 years of living in CA. And *knocks on wood* I've never been pulled over nor given a second look by cops, despite being that dick whose car is blasting heavy rock riffs at all times.

For the thread I have a big Ocean Beach (OB) sticker in the middle of back windshield, also a big ol NS on the left and a Bear Mtn sticker on the right. The Bear was once red and is now light pink from sunfade, getting replaced with a C&K sticker soon

never really experience cops harassing me or my friends who have all had stickers on their cars. Granted we are pasty white bread kids in a ski town so that may explain it. Sounds like a lot of you guys live in small towns with cops that have nothing better to do, Its mostly interstate driving where I am at with Highway Patrol up the ass and Ive never ever seen them pull over cars with shitloads of stickers, its usually Mexicans or asshats who drive like shit/speed.

Let's not get carried away, we're not saying stickers are cop magnets on par with being black haha.

At the same time, you guys also seem to fit the stickerd car stereotype in terms of not being the whole "mature, successful, adulting" kind of thing.
