Vehicle signage

[pianolover 88]

The better magnetic signs not only look great, but in my case, it's hard to 
tell that the lettering isn't cutom painted or stenciled on. I just like the 
convenience of either re-positioning it, or removing it at any time, like 
when i go out on a date!

In that situation, where they live in an area that charges, and that is the 
only way to get in.
You put the extra charge on the bill.
I personally like my semi-permanent signs. (I can remove them on the sale of 
the vehicle)
I do believe they give you more legitimacy than the magnetic kind.
Mind you, I started with magnetic ones, and when I had them, I thought they 
were fine.
