Default 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?

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.

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.

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.

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
