    New_Yorker,

    I showed the picture of your car to my wife last night. The first thing she said was sanitation department.

    Either it is a good thing or not is anyone's opinion. It does make it look like an official vehicle.

    I have red reflective tape on leading edge of spoiler to provide additional protection against banging on garage door. And a couple red stripes on corner. Stands out against white car in daylight.

    Official Vehicle . . . . that some distracted Driver yenta'ing on his cell phone who might otherwise not see, and will now take notice of and not run into me, cut me off, ? ? ? And that is a bad thing because ? ? ? :)

    I like the way it looks, and it makes me less likely to be in an accident. Maybe the NYC sanitation department has the same idea. Good for them.

    So I can't say thatI think your car looks ridiculous but you can call his car embarrassing?

    Remember what you said to me...if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. :nono:

    +1 I'm one of those! Traded in my 300C SRT8 so that I could use the HOV lane; cut my commute time by a third! But talk about a driving culture-shock change! Oy!

    If you use EZ-Pass, get a Green Pass. It'll cost you only $4 during off-peak hours.

    New York State Thruway Authority: E-ZPass : Green Pass Discount Plan

    To stay on topic, where can you get those 3M stickers?

    Just going to add this here... Had some left over reflective tape from another project so put a strip on all my doors. Plan on putting one on the trunk hatch too when it's open. Helps catch attention if your getting out of the car.

    Not needed for me, but if I did a lot of parallel parking, that'd be a "must have." (y)

    I'm surprised nobody markets kits for that already.
