IMSA Car Decal

I got this IMSA car decal at the 12 hours of Sebring 2024 and I’m trying to find a good spot on my Lexus RC350 to put it on. Any ideas? (Preferably on the back of the car.) Thanks -Side windows already have other decals so can’t put it there

Centered at base or top of rear window. Opposite from wherever the 3rd brake light is.

Yeah that’s where I’m most likely gonna place it

Nailed it.

I'd put it on the rear window, that way if it ever needs removed you aren't removing anything off the paint

u/EcoAviation 2d ago

Thoughts on putting it on the top corner or bottom?

I'd go top center.

That’s what I do! But I cut it just to say IMSA.

I save the curves for side windows.

I'd personally do top center or top corner

Definitely not on a painted surface.

Buy a GTD Pro sticker and put it on your bumper

That sounds sick. Next time I go to an IMSA event I’ll prob find one

Never on paint; only on glass.

I put mine at the bottom right of my rear bumper but one of the curbs at Pocono wasn’t too happy about it and took it out on my exhaust

You need the squigly line crashing into a tree one

What happen in your C30 ? Exhaust is near failing to ground.

I was trying to see if running staggered tips might increase aero efficiency like the strakes on the bottom of an Indycar

IMO, the rear deck lid is the worst place for decals. Either on the glass (rear or side-rear), or on the fender between the wheel arch and the door seam, but that only works if your car has that tuner look. For your car, I'd put it on the rear glass. Position is your preference.

I put mine on the lower left edge of the rear glass where I can't see it while driving.

u/unbe-leap-able AO Racing Porsche 911 GT3.R #77 2d ago

I put mine in the lower middle of my EN

Bottom left back window is where i always put mine

I've got mine on the lower left of the rear window. Like others have said, it's easier to remove a sticker from glass than the body when the time comes.

What is that plate? do you actually have a legit ‘Ottawa’ tag?

(Ontario dude here as well)

Rear side window is actual best place if the decal size can fit.

That’s a beautiful orange Lexus, I wouldn’t put any decal and would do PPF instead if it’s me.

When I worked with AIM Autosport, we would put them on the rental vans for the crew so you could tell which were ours in a sea of rented Chrysler Pacificas

Underneath my rear wiper.

u/catuela 2d ago

Right under the shark fin antenna on the back glass. I think that would look best.

u/wickstrom_writes AO Racing Porsche 911 GT3.R #77 2d ago

I have mine on my front windshield, center top

u/EcoAviation 2d ago

I’ve decided to put it at the centre of the top rear window. Thanks guys!

u/PlyrWon 1d ago

I can’t identify the car, but if it’s a hatchback, watch out for the rear wiper.

u/sunnyDaye21 1d ago

I have one on each of the rear side windows on the MINI. Gotta be symmetric.

u/Kaggles_N533PA 1d ago

I'd say top right of rear window. Nice car by the way

Front and center on your hood. Show your commitment to the greatest form of motorsport out there!!!
