So I have my California clean air vehicle carpool stickers, but I don’t want to slap them on my beautiful new truck. I had planned on using magnetic backing for the stickers and just use that.
Come to find out the body panels are not magnetic lol…🥺

Anybody got any other thoughts?😏🤓😜

Not sure if Sticker Shield will work on the body - but it definitely works on glass surfaces.

Um.... yeah.... aluminum is non-magnetic. I hate those stickers... they are awful.... 😕

yeah, for some reason I didn’t realize that the entire body was aluminum lol

Is the bumper in steel (or also in Aluminum)?

Okay, I just went through this. I applied the stickers to Xpel, then cut the around the sticker and applied to my truck with the recommended 5:1 water:rubbing alcohol solution. That way when I go to remove, there is no void sticker residue or anything. For more details, check this video:

I got mine too, and just left them on the counter at home for a few weeks because I didn't want to ruin the truck. I finally put them on a few days ago, and I have to admit - they are not as bad as I thought they would be. It's a big truck and they look small.

I put my fronts in a "little" more discreet location. Didn't like the bumper placement recommended:

yeah, I wish I had done that.

Not much you can do to hide from the larger rear stickers. So i placed it as far back and down as I could (less than a 1/2" up from plastic and forward from rear) while following the lines of the truck. Again, mounted to paint protection film and applied to the truck for easier removal.

It’s not. The front quarter panels are plastic.

Great to know, and too late for me . I applied the stickers several weeks ago. At some point in the future, I'll be looking for tips on how to remove them and their sticky residue...

Amazing, thank you!!

I just left them in my glove box. It’s the fast trak that does all the work. The stickers are for a chippy looking out for people. Figured it I ever got pulled over, I’d pull them out saying I was just getting ready to apply them after I got home and cleaned the truck🤷‍♂️
