What do you guys do with all of your aftermarket parts stickers?
 
I remember back in my youth it was the cool thing to put parts stickers in your rear window, like you were a real racer - Accel, Hooker, Comp, etc. It was like travel bumper stickers on a suitcase.

What do people do now? I have a pile growing in a drawer from my parts purchases. If I had a fridge in the garage, that might be a good place. Toolbox? Trailer?

I have a work and car show cooler that is about the same size as Fred Flintstone's lunch box. Bet there are twenty decals on it.Been covering my Tool boxes for the last 40 years.Garage frig.Just started putting them on the 25 year old garden tractor.Can't look any worse than it does now.

If you have a work shop where you hang your tools, I hung white peg board and covered it with the stickers then hung tools over top of them, you can still see them.

rohrt 11-13-2015 12:21 PM

I stick them on the kids Power Wheel cars.

Had my last tool chest top part just covered... all the good ones.... they don't peel off after 20+ years :( Replaced it a week ago and threw it in the alley by dumpster. It lasted a half hour :) probably someone with a beater Focus and a cool tool box.

I put stickers I like onto refrigerator magnet material and go at it...the door between our attached garage and the house is getting the treatment now...An upside to the magnetic backing is that you can undo at-will.

Slap them on my toolbox

Ken MacNicol 11-13-2015 01:23 PM

Put them on the car, then hope I do well enough to get paid

indymanjoe 11-13-2015 01:46 PM

Toolbox and coolers here.Makes finding my cooler at party's much easier.

hurryinhoosier62 11-13-2015 02:07 PM

Toolbox, along with all the stickers the aviation suppliers we used sent us.

craigs69 11-13-2015 02:15 PM

They mostly get stuck on the ductwork of the furnace in my shop, but I really enjoy putting them in places where they make no sense. My garden tractor was Flowmaster decals on it and my dad's old John Deere tractor is donning Holley stickers on the side of the hood. Even my hot water heater is sporting VP Racing fuel decals. When I was racing vintage snowmobiles a few years ago, I had an IMPO titanium rod and Butler Performance decal on the hood of my sled. Lots of conversations were started in the pits over those decals since most snowmobile racers don't have a clue that neither company make snowmobile parts.

GT182 11-13-2015 03:07 PM

Mostly filed in #13... recycle can. I used to give them to the grandson so he could put them on his pedal car. But now that he's "too old" for that they're thrown in to be re"cycled". LOL

67drake 11-14-2015 10:00 AM

I slap them on peoples rear bumpers at redlights,but only if they have been driving too slow.

72projectbird 11-14-2015 01:04 PM

I have a 8ft tall big metal cabinet in the garage that I stick them on.

BOB VIDAN 11-14-2015 02:03 PM

I give them to little kids with dad and/or mom at swap meets. The kids eyes light up as they say "for free ?". Can't put a price on that.

BLACKGP 11-14-2015 02:37 PM

hot rod parts stickers
 
For a "day two" type street machine, the underside of the trunklid was a common spot for these decals.

Hmmm.... Toolbox is the obvious, but a good one. Maybe I should go buy a go-kart or tractor for a place to put my stickers!:D

I like the trunk lid underside idea.

Maybe the wife's 2014 Mustang needs some old school appeal with a few pieces of "flair"...:eek:;):D

Old Man Taylor 11-15-2015 04:00 AM

I put then on my hot water tank in the garage.

rexs73gto 11-15-2015 04:47 AM

I put some on my wheel borrow some on my cabinets in the garage, & most go with me to the swap meets to give them out the all the boys & girls who come by my booths & while their looking at all the die cast I bring along with the car parts. I have made more sales from the simple act of giving away those cheap stickers. Plus the kids love the sticker even if they haven't a clue what they are for or about. All they know is they got it for FREE & with all the bright colors they could care less what company they are for either. I try to give them all away at the swap meets but just about when I think I've gotten rid of all of them,,, POOF I've got 100 more. I try to keep them off my tool box now, because I tried to clean all of them off one time & it took about 1-2 hours to get about 1/2 of them off. They really stick after a couple of years. I have put more then a few on cars that park in the handicapped parking spaces when it's some young kid or some lazy ass that just wants to be close to the entrance. I'll put them right in the middle of the sight area of the windshield. When it's hot out they stick really good & if they try to take them off they leave that sticky glue behind which screws up the wipers as it attracts dirt & junk which is hard to get off. But they deserve it.

Pearlbluebird 11-15-2015 09:49 AM

I give mine away to the neighbourhood kids that come over to check the car out,

You will love the new KTA stickers, they are an in your face for the tards with the Coexist stickers.

Back to original topic. Usually I chunk them. The last one I ever put on one of my Pontiacs was one of the yellow and black ////Nunzi Automotive//// stickers. centered it on hoop of the fan shroud of my modded Turbo T/A, many years ago. Nunzi gave me some good tech info, and i bought a few parts from his catalogue. Would like to have another of those stickers.

GTOLiam 11-16-2015 01:28 PM

I used to put them on my toolboxes but now they just go into one of my 'junk' drawers.

Except these ....

They are safely kept in my vault!

Alvin, where can I buy one of those sticker receptacles?

lust4speed 11-17-2015 10:48 PM

Can't make up my mind whether stickers help - post up the photo without stickers so we can make an educated decision.

I've been through a few neighborhoods in Racine where you can "rent" them by the hour. :p
