Best places for stickers

We've all gotten the stickers from our favorite mod companies when we purchase parts for our cars. What are some aesthetically pleasing places to put them? What are the best places to put them to get the extra HP (joke, of course)?

Hopefully people can provide some good examples of what they have done with their adhesive gifts.

I've got a box of them I've never used from Jackson racing, twin, injen, invidia and etc.

This is not a debate about whether it is a good thing to do or not. This is just a thread to see some examples of how people have used the manufacturer stickers on their cars. FOR SCIENCE!

Really, it depends on what kind of sticker it is. color, shape, size and quality all come into play for where you should put it if at all.

Im a fan of the rear stack on the back window.

Also how modded are you? stickers look cool on highly modded cars but they look extremely tacky if you don't have anything done to your car.

I'm in the same boat with having several stickers from quality companies that I have parts from, but I'm not sure what to do with them. I've debated sticker bombing the dash trim since I'm not fond of it in particular, but I think that might look tacky, or trashy unless done right, or on a vehicle with a specific look.

I've also considered putting them on the interior of the trunk lid, but I'll probably just end up putting them on a tool box, or more likely they'll just continue sitting around forever unused D:

Fairly modded. Jackson racing sc, twin springs, n1 and Berk FP. Not too many exterior mods but you can tell the car is not stock.

I put my stickers on my toolbox. I don't like having stickers on my car at all, unless it's a very clean and minimalist sticker. especially in socal, cops look for stickers too

I personally like the driver side stationary window, I personally don't like the eibach sticker so I only have grimmspeed for now. I need to find a perrin sticker
