Unhappy No more pretty AWD warning sticker from Speed Element

So, my AWD warning sticker (tow sticker) is coming off in one of its corners, as if someone was picking at it to jack my sticker. So, I was like no biggie, I'll buy another one. At first I couldn't remember where I bought it from so I hit google. Came across some, but none that I wanted because it wasn't the one I already have. I was puzzled that I wasn't able to find it googling so I hit ebay. No luck on my sticker. Then, I came here to EvoM to find it. Then I came across a Speed Element post advertising their sticker from back in the day. I was like YES, I found it and clicked on the order here tab and to my surprise I came to a page saying item is not found on their site. No, biggie right, I'll just give them a ring and see what's up because the site looks new (from what I'm use to, but haven't been on their site in a long time). AND SADLY, THEY CONFIRMED THAT THEY DO NOT SELL THEIR STICKER ANYMORE ! In my opinion, it was the best tow warning sticker design on the market. It will be missed.

The decal on the left is an Evo on the flatbed.

Too plain lol. Colors draw attention lol. I found this one http://store.worksmotorsports.com/Al...p/gen.awds.htm. I wish the tow truck and car was outlined instead of filled in but it's all good and I can get 3 of these (with 50cents more) for the price of one you linked . It is on its way in the mail .

Thats the same sticker I use, and placed in the same spot you recommend. Thankfully, its never been necessary.

If you only have one, I'd take the recommendation previously given in this thread: lower left hand corner of your windshield around your vin plate. If/when a wrecker/tow truck comes for your car, they take the vin number off that very plate before towing. Putting the sticker right by it greatly increases the likelihood they'll see it.
