Default Decals?

Do y'all put the decals from your mods on your car?

If you do, where and how do you mount them?

I was a motorcycle mechanic for 18 years and they always went on my tool box but I'm curious about you guys.

Plus I may be changing my ways...I've always loved the Hurst decal...

I was told that the decals had to go if I plan to show my car at car shows, so off they came.

Well, I may be the only one that admits it here, but mine go on the car.
Only small ones and along the back window bottom edge.
