On brushed arruminum, the static cling comes flying off at assactly 42.6 mph.
Duct tape oversomes this tendency mucho muy goodo.

What Jamo said, at least on one side of the car. The other side lasted 500 miles and 60 minutes of track time and a rain outburst of 10 minutes. The good old days.

If the body is polished the decals/stickers that are static cling will do just that.
I tried the static cling on the brushed aluminium and before I even left, I realized the Windex spray that I was using to wet them up marked the brushed finish.
I think you would need to watch that also on the polished finish. Perhaps wet them up then place them and use a chamois to remove bubbles and excess.
I think they will look great though!!
Then if they don't work stick them on your wife's car..

Even on polished Kirkhams, they don't stay on indefinitely. I've lost a number of my static-cling decals.

Thanks! It's been too long. I will update the KM647 post soon
Pete, if you mom vetoed that number on the rondells, you have to put it somewhere on the license then
Are you looking for an historic number (98, 91, etc..)? or just a sweet number (12, 47, etc..)? Single or double digits? We'll get this squared away quickly |

I was thinking 07, 65, 66, or somewhere along those lines, maybe number 1...
