[smjbh5]

can we trim the stickers? or is that a big no-no?

Legally I am pretty sure it is a "NO". But I really don't think a cop will pull you over because he/she saw that your decals have no white border, but don't quote me on that! LOL.

A roll of XPEL is $12 on Amazon, easy to make yourself with a steady hand...

A roll of 4" wide x 2' long XPEL Ultimate Plus will run you $7.33 plus tax (free shipping) directly from XPEL website. That length is guaranteed to fit the four stickers. However, I ordered two 4" x 1' rolls and ended up using only one since they were actually 20" long. Can't say you will get the same length as I did so YMMV.

And I believe @run-the-joules used a 6" wide roll.

Correct, I got a 6x48" with the thinking I'll use the rest for… something. Ended up using some of it when I had to temporarily mount my front plate to sort out a fix-it ticket.

Have we confirmed PPF on PPF is fine?

I had one guy say it won't come apart easy, but easier than trying to remove the sticker from your PPF.

I mailed roughly middle of December and they haven't cashed check yet. I think that means I should get the purple (which should look better on blue).

I will gladly trade you my red stickers for your purple stickers. I have mines on a magnet so it's not permanently attached to my car.

What magnets did you get? I want to order on Amazon but want to make sure they are really strong enough to stick on the car. Thanks!

what about this solution?
I received a set of these,
I waited to apply for CA
HOV purple stickers, so
I haven't tried their effectiveness?

I hope those are the replacement decals for the white stickers. If they are for first time, it would be really awful timing....

It's great having the HOV stickers but here in the South Bay, Ca, the HOV lanes are co clogged up now with EV owners and cheating ICE's you don't really go much faster than the regular lanes.
