Default Base Decal

Got a quick question for those of you that are also (or have been) in a situation where your place of employment requires that you place a decal on your bumper or windshield. If I am forced to put it on the bumper - is there going to be a way to remove it later? I will be in CA in the blistering heat and do not like the idea of putting this on my bumper (or windshield) but it sounds like its a must.
Any suggestions would be appreciated..... thanks!

Never had that experience? What do you have to put on the car? Does it represent the company? a product they/you sell? If it is your car they can't make you do anything!? The last I checked this is a free country. Need more info....J

Its a base decal.... meaning it has to be on there in order to gain access to the installation. Its a closed base so you have to place the decal on their for the guards to see and scan (at times) for added security.

I wouldn't put it on the bumper. I put mine on my window on the bottom driver's side. Not too obvious when driving around but visible at the gate.

I would stick it on something like a piece of cardboard, then display it in the inside lower corner of your windshield when you are on base, then when your off base you can put in your console or glove box until you need it again.

If you have to stick it to the bumper, get a piece of plexiglass the same size and then use a number of small sucktion cups and attach them to the plexiglass and just stick it on the bumper temporarily. Then just remove it when you don't need it. You can get the materials from any Lowes or Homedepot store. Also, you can do this for the inside of the window as well.

Not the bumper. That thing is going to be a nightmare to get off. Place it on the lower right side (driver side) of windshield or tiop of the windshield. I have removed plenty of those in over 20 yrs career with the military and never had an issue once placed on the glass.

Put it on the windshield, yes if it's for a military base it will be required. I had mine on the center top of the windshield, easy for them to see easy for you to remove once done.

DOD just scrapped the windshield stickers... they cost too much and are actually dangerous as the make military members easily identifiable... OPSEC!!!
