Everyone in the states and the world have window stickers on their cars. Has anyone in the forum brought up the subject. Thought it would be kind of unusual to have a Mercedesshop.com sticker/decal of some sort.
Other MB owners would see it and may take a peek or logon. Another way to expand, don't you think. Get the word out. Great for a MB dealer to see while your car is in for service. Might give you more respect and courtesy if he knew you would chat with other owners!

Just an idea....

That's an interesting idea.
Anybody know where we can get some made?

Just about any quality print shop can take care of this for your. The more color the more money. If you want to have it cur in a special shape (oooh, like maybe a wrench!!) there will be an extra set up charge, probaby a little on the high side. I suggest a standrd rectangle, with good graphics. If youneed more directions, e-mail me.

The sticker would be a good thing. Although it would cost more, a die cut sticker looks great.

I agree with jeneric21 -- die cut would be THE way to go. Die-cut just means the decal components are separate (like separate letters), but held together with a backing paper on the "good" side (the side meant to be seen). To install, one peels the paper off the "adhesive" side, applies to the surface, then removes the backing paper to expose the "good" side -- done! Might want to think about doing a reverse-adhesive type. That is, adhesive on the "colored" side so that the decal can be mounted on the inside of the window. Go with standard back-adhesive if the intended mounting surface is a bumper or other exterior surface.

JUST DO IT! Great for advertising, and I think the rewards will outweigh the (minimal) cost.

I'm not a big fan of bumper stickers but, a nice window sticker would be cool.
If we made a professional die-cut window sticker that mounts on the inside, how big should it be? Let's assume that we do the MercedesShop dog bone wrench logo...

I would definately order a window sticker if available. I think a sticker of the wrench about 4 or 5 inches long would be optimal, not too big, but big enough to see. Hope it works out that they get printed!

Support this initiative wholeheartedly. Think an inside the window option is the better way to go. A 4"-5" size may be a little too big. My feeling is that a 3"-4" may be a better choice. Let's press on !!

I'm thinking more on the lines of 3" x 1". Here's my reasoning:
1) Anything less than 10" x 3" is NOT "readable" at normal driving distances (proof -- the handwritten info on store-bought "for sale" signs are hard to read).
2) Most MBZ owners are "overtly discreet" -- we like to brag without really bragging.
3) If your cool MBZ is in a parking lot and people are checkin' it out, they'll see the decal at that point.

That's Brian's 2-cents
