hopefully this will help others adhering stickers near license plates.
The sizing I used was 4.5”W X 16.5”L; holes were drilled at 1/4” to license plate spacing.

I'm still perplexed as the use of stickers for the HOV lane access. It's mind-boggling that the DMV forces people to put "permanent" decals on their paint instead of offering something like a special registration sticker or something a bit more simple.
.
It's because access to the HOV lane (in California) is not forever. Each VIN is allowed to get a sticker once and that sticker is valid for 3 years + the remainder of the year you get the sticker, and then you are no longer allowed to use the HOV lane. So, if you got your sticker in 2018, it expires Jan 1, 2022. The ones issued this year (2019) expire Jan 1, 2023.I also do not understand. There is no Tesla that is gas powered, so a sticker should be unnecessary.

Also, the entire program ends in 2025... and I think that is by federal law. That is _no_ state will be allowed to have electric vehicle access to the HOV lane (unless it actually meets the occupancy rules, of course).
You can't tell they're there and apparently makes it easier to remove the whole thing when you want to
I’ve gotten away with having the HOV decals in just two spots on three different cars. One sticker on the right/rear bumper and one sticker on the right side/rear bumper. Haven’t been pulled over by the police for doing it that waySame with CA. It’s actually obnoxious... you need no less than 4 stickers, maybe more. For those who must have it you can attach the stickers to magnet sheets (search these forums) on most portions so you don’t actually have to perm affix the rear. The front one on the bumper would probably have to be affixed.
I’m getting an M3P in a few months on a lease and I probably won’t bother.. but I work from home 70% of the time so I’m an edge case.
