Default Help Needed ASAP

My neighbor is part of homecoming and she wants me to drive her in my C6 with the removable top off. No worries. Now...she wants to put some sort of sticker or something on door...is there something safe she can use or maybe another method??? I'm not a fan of putting anything with a sticker on the side unless you guys know of anything safe. TIA.

We used a magnetic sign, which of course does not stick on tupperware doors. So we wrapped the entire door in clear plastic with the sign inside. Of course, the first layer was between the sign and the door. Worked like a charm, and no damage.

You can use vinyl decals, they come off pretty easy.

Another idea, there might be a local shop that sells the magnetic sign material, maybe attach the sticker on the magnetic material and put that on?

Put that on what? The door is not metal.
Why not just tape it on. If you have a good coat of wax the tape will come right off when you want it to.

I'm thinking of just punching a couple holes at top of poster and tying string on door handle inside.

It ain't rocket science bro'. Just use some masking tape or painters tape.

5 or 6 wood screws.
Bondo and repaint after the event.

Besides the fact it's just a car and a sticker won't hurt anything, instead of tape just take the backing off around the edge like a 1/4 all the way around and stick it on.

A good cleaning afterwards and stop being so worried.

Thanks for the help guys. Was suspect on using the tape, but looks like painter's tape will work.

Why not just have her hold the sign and give the crowd a nice big smile.
