I think they look cool but can you PLEASE explain why the text is inverted in all of the pictures, why would anyone do this on purpose?

Text is inverted because it's made to stick on the inside of the interior glass and be read from the outside thus it needs to be inverted to be readable.

I have 2 stickers on my car that go on the interior glass and are read from the outside that don't have any inverted text. The only way they're inverted is if you look at them from behind. What you're saying doesn't make any sense. If I print the word "HELLO" on a piece of paper and stick it on my windshield, it won't be backwards...

The "adhesive" is not on the back of the sticker, but the face of it. So when you peel away the transfer paper, the sticker will read correctly. Here's a good reference:

Ah, so you're saying that all of your photos are essentially taken from the back of the product, so that you aren't removing the protection from the front, yes?

If you're ordering on our site, you could type "BBS Logo" into the custom field.

Sent you a PM!

That's correct! The "front" transfer paper is virtually opaque, so you wouldn't get a great product photo as a result

I was wondering where those were going! Love the yellow accents on the F80 ones...and that S2000 club sticker is COOL!



Just recently shot some photos of a custom Focus RS order also:



Never seen this color in person before...pretty cool to see this on a club sticker (on an Diesel no less!):









So many cool designs lately...

Thank you for the sick pictures. I don't have those skills so my installed pics are just off an iPhone lol. But I agree so many cool designs lately. Would really like to see this thread going and see more people order them. When I first saw them on your site I thought wow 50 bucks for a tiny sticker thats crazy but the quality and size of them along with the personalization is really awesome and makes yours one of a kind. Definitely worth it. Im ordering more as Christmas gifts for family members and friends with cars!

Yeah the personalization is really something else. I can't believe how much can be done in a little sticker, haha. Just recently we did a behind the scenes of how these (and the posters) are made. Some SERIOUS equipment being used to ensure the utmost quality and color control.

Here's a link to the video:


Also some new ones from recent batches since I haven't updated the thread in awhile
