Where should I put these Stickers/Decals

Hey guys so I ordered a couple if stickers/decals for my car and I wanted your input on where I should place them? I figured the back windshield would be the ideal place to put them but should I put them side by side? or One on top of the other, one on each side, or what? I want a clean look, and not tacky. I really think these will add some personality to my "bee" lol let me know your suggestions! Ill post a pic of both decals! thanks!

Stickers don't belong on cars.

It would honestly look better without them. The autobots badge would look sweet stitched in the leather armrest cover if you have to have it.

I don't. Mods should be tastefully selected. I had my Camaro for almost 4 years and I'm still adding to it but I'm selecting my cosmetic mods patiently. Don't want anything cheap looking or tedious on my Camaro. Chose wisely.

I appreciate everyones opinion! I agree cosmetic mods should be not over done and done tastefully, I mean Im still not 100 percent on whether they will look good or not, I too dont want it to look tacky. But they may look good too though. The transformers decal isnt huge but isnt small either, the bee decal hasnt arrived yet but i dont believe its going to be big either. I think ill like the bee decal more honestly. I like the whole transformers but Im not a over the top fan. My car gets called bumblebee no matter where I go or what I do so might as well embrace it haha. I didnt get the yellow black combo because of the movie, I just think the yellow/black looks the best IMO.

Yellow and black does look great. You should consider transformer interior mods. The good thing about those decals is they aren't permanent so you can take them off if you get tired of them or you outgrow the look. I changed a few things over the years like spoilers and windshield banners and wheels.

I have one on my fuse box cover under the hood. It's the free sticker from amsoil that they throw in during shipping. Its automotive related so I though what the heck. I'm going to be the only one that sees it for the most part. When I decide to remove it the fuse box will look the same as before it was put on.

The stickers you have in my opinion are purely decorative and have little to do with cars if anything. Under the hood would be pointless because no one will see it. Putting them in the interior would look ridiculous because it is not a child's bedroom or pencil case. Putting them on the outside of the car they will deteriorate rather quickly due to being exposed to the elements and washing. The paint or glass that you stick them on could become mismatched to surrounding area depending on how long you have the stickers on the car.

In my opinion stickers generally look tacky on automobiles with the exception of certain professional vinyl applications. Most of the free stickers that come with the mods I've don have been given to my 3 year old son. But I did see a decent looking picture of a Camaro on here that had the stickers free stickers from mods placed on the aftermarket splitter and it didn't look too bad but I still wouldn't do it to my car.
