My kid bought me two of these aluminum decals for my birthday. Went to look to see where I could put them on the truck but most of the areas people put decals on looked a bit too curved for these to want attach. Haven’t tried to install them yet. I may end up putting one of these on the rear window if I can find a good, relatively flat spots on the truck body. Any thoughts? Will these cause any issue to windows or paint for that matter? I know some have said the paint is a bit fragile on these trucks.

Glass should be no issues. Personally for me I wouldn't do paint

Copy, yeah that was my thinking. I hate putting anything on paint so I’ll put it somewhere on the rear window. The other one I’ll let my kid put on his toolbox or something so he can be like dad lol.

I think using it as a window sticker is a good idea. It would suck if you mounted them to body panels and they faded badly or chipped easily and had to be removed.

Are they “handed” so the rhs flag is reversed? I imagine they are not and there’d likely be some comments around that if you put them on the sides of your Ranger. ? It’s not a requirement, but some folks think it is.

We don’t have to worry about that here. ?

Good point. Yeah they’re both the same as far as orientation and that thought had crossed my mind. Rear window it is. Thanks.

Not a bad idea. I’d have to take it down every night like we used to do for colors. Better yet, I could teach my kids how to properly take it down and fold it. Something they should learn anyways ?

I have a couple stickers and they're all on the back window. I don't mess with the paint.

I have these two (three now, actually; there's a second oval-shaped one of the same size next to the oval in the top-left). They look good there, and they don't impede my view out of the rear.

Looks good. I’ll place mine similar.

It's funny. Flying the Canadian flag from a truck in Canada would get you labeled an istaphobe in seconds. Glad to see a country can still show patriotism.
I had to look that up. I didn't even know what it meant.
