How about putting it on the bumper and having a small title next to the "map" image? I think it's kinda cool! Almost like the "kill" decals on fighter plans or something. I'm thinking above the exhaust cutout, middle bend of the bumper and half the size of the decals u already have.

But seriously, it's cool when people put the one of the Nurburgring on their car. Putting all of them on is cheesy.

I do not in general condone the use of stickers unless it's a sponsered race car (Otherwise your obviously just trying to look like a sponsered race car= cheesey).

However I like your idea, it some how circumvents the cheese factor by implying actual, even if non-competitive track use. what you need to do is work on execution. Make your own decals with uniform scale, crop, and line weight. MY .2

I like the idea but it looks like a little kid had a fun time with your car after school.

damn, laguna seca looks like bart simpson's head from a distance.

I like the idea, but not the placement, as some others have mentioned

Different, but not something I would ever consider.

I think it would look cool if you put smaller versions of the maps (1/4 of the size) on the bottom of the rear windows. That way they would be a little more subtle. They just stick out a little too much on the trunk...

This has potential. Imagine small vinyls of those tracks with the track name and/or logo added in a size that you could read when close. With the right combination of colors and logos, I think it could look really sharp.

I've had a chance to race on Laguna Seca. It looks like it's backwards.

I have a friend who had an E36 M3 that he took European Delivery of, ran Nurburgring, got the track map sticker and had it on his trunk. Apparently he had been asked on many occations if he was from Maine.

In a way, though, that's the point. Think of it as an on-the-spot enthusiast IQ test. I do think you should move to smaller, more subtle versions of the stickers, though.

The sticker is backwards. Laguna Seca is run counter-clockwise and the hairpin is the first turn.

If it was run counter-clockwise in the orientation on the sticker, the Corkscrew would go uphill...surely not as dramatic and you'd have cars flying off the track at the crest of that hill.
