Any thoughts on CCA emblem placement?

Good? Awful? I can't find a flat surface to mount (two kid school stickers flank license). Used two sided trim tape after removing threaded shoulder for license plate post mount.

IMO, just leave it out. Doesn't look good.

IMO - it looks FUGLY - place it nowhere. The problem with these "style questions" is that the answer lies within the beholder.

I am going through this very style debate as I type this response. My two vehicles (X5M & 911 turbo) are grey in color (Donnington & GT Silver).

What am I trying to accomplish with the decals / stickers? Look at me -I am a BMWCCA and PCA member - so what? I've thought about all the Michelin / Pirelli / Xpel / whatever stickers but now think I will look like a race driver "wannabe" or a rolling billboard for auto parts suppliers. Scratch those.

I've tried a few stickers about my skiing and backpacking days - Taos / Jackson Hole / Whistler / Killington / Patagonia / Marmot / Banff / Kootney. I did get an occasional discussion going at Cars & Coffee about some common interest but not many. Those have been removed because I thought I was looking like Chevy Chase - Vacation

So, for me, it really gets down to what I am trying to accomplish with the stickers. The more I have pondered on this issue the more I am leaving most of them off my vehicles - especially on the 911. I no longer what to clutter up the styling with all the vinyl.

Of course - everyone's mileage WILL VARY.

My wife walks out and says it looks 'idiotic'. Might have even called me an idiot. Can't be sure as that happens often. I really like this emblem but I just can't seem to put it to reasonable use. Second choice is my tool box.

Save them for a holiday where you hang stuff. If you celebrate Christmas or Easter...use them as an ornament to hang from a tree, mistletoe, or string of garland along with your other ornaments or Easter eggs. There’s also Valentine’s day, 4th of July, and Halloween. Dare to be different.
