Bumper sticker - bad idea?

[RtStuf]

I have the political fever and am wanting to put a sticker on my Prius. Will it damage the bumper paint? Better on the lower rear window? Hard to remove?

[Sheepdog]

I would think its better on the window glass somewhere. The paint can be kind of thin and brittle I have been told. Up to you however...

The paint on the Prius is pretty thin and easily scratched. I would put it on the window also. I don't like stickers on my Prius, but I wish you best of luck with yours.

1) I personally avoid stickers on cars.
2) I personally avoid political stickers on cars.
3) I personally avoid political stickers on a car that already generates animosity among drivers due to fuel costs.

Oh, if I were to put a sticker on a car, I'd put it on the glass do to the reasons others have cited.

The only sticker I have had, or will ever have, on any of my cars is the annual safety inspection sticker that is required by HI law.

As for a political sticker, why ask to get your Prius keyed?

[mtnprius]

Personally, I am against political statements of any kind, I doubt seriously that anyone was ever swayed by a bumper sticker! At least i would hope not!
I also think it wise for Prius owners to keep a low profile, not hard to do since we don't spend much time at our local gas stations.

If you'd like to make a political statement without the risk of someone keying your car consider this: Anyone who disagrees with your choice in a candidate is by definition, an idiot. Only idiot would key someone’s car. To avoid having your car keyed, place the sticker of your candidates opponent on your bumper.

If you want to have a bit of fun with people, place the bumper sticker for your candidate and their opponent on your bumper. It seems likely that if someone notices that you have both, it will be more thought provoking than having just your candidates sticker on your car. If you like that idea, go all out and place Metallica and square dancing stickers on your car too.

Thank you all for your advice - I've decided to wear an Obama button!

Good choice in candidates, by the way, but like everyone else, I don't put bumper stickers on my car, I still laugh at all the one that still have the W'04 stickers still on their car.

Your choice of automobile already makes a strong and effective political statement--why taint it with mere words?
