Default Window Decal?

Both the Forte and the Koup are popping up everywhere in my area (Harleysville, PA) and yet it seems like no one knows about this Forum (Other than ones i've told of course).

I've only been on this forum a few weeks and it's already been a ton of help with questions and concerns i had so i can only hope to get the word out to all new owners in my area. With that said, i feel as though we need an easier way to get the word out.

My easiest and probably most efficient idea was something as simple as window decals for ForteForum.com. My buddy's got them for his amateur site and it got the word out about that REAL fast.

I'm honestly hoping this idea has always been thought up and there are decals somewhere out there in which case PLEASE send me a link as to where to get them.

Example: *My Friend's Decal on my lady magnet

I got some ForteForum decals when I became a Lifetime Member. I don't know how you can get them other than that. My local mall has a kiosk that makes decals for pretty cheap, you could try and find something similar.

I put one of the ForteForums decals on my back window because my windows are blacked out and I'm tired of finding people's hand and fingerprints all over my windows trying to peek inside and figure out what kind of car it is or people driving dangerously around me just to find something on the car to decipher what it is.

I figure the ForteForums decal is something easily recognizable which someone can Google instead of the vague looking Koup emblems I have that people usually can't figure out. But... I'm not sure I like the look of it. It takes away from my clean look. It's a little bit more recognizable in person compared to these pictures but what do you guys think? Should I keep them on and represent or just take them off?

I like it!
It's subtle, and I like that. And good job lining it up!

The girlfriend was originally against it and after I put it on to see what it would look like now she approves! I guess it stays on then.

I really like it. I have only had 1 sticker each on 2 of my previous cars. This is a great idea. I have been considering becoming a lifetime member. My birthday is coming up in a couple of months...hopefully my wife will get it for me :-)

Definitely a bangin sticker and the shark fin antenna looks sweet too - i've got one coming in the mail hopefully soon (antenna).

Who ever runs the forum should definitely consider selling them seperately for like 3$ - 5$ *caugh caugh hint hint* haha i'd definitely be all over that.

Thanks. I got the Koup embelms from eBay. I had the "K" emblems for a bit but I didn't like how much it looked like the Lexus emblem and then one day I actually had a group of girls in a Lexus IS350 race past and one of them yelled, "It's a Kia not a Lexus!" So that was it...

Anyway, here's the link. KIA FORTE KOUP 2010 EMBLEM SET Front + Rear - eBay (item 290431552710 end time May-28-11 00:32:13 PDT)

Urrr i know it's easy to get off but never tried reapplying one a second time...my suggestion would be to either find a shitty decal from your local auto store for like 50c and try with that first. Or just try to live with what ever found it's way in there. =/
