Default Trailer Decals

Looks to buy large Porsche decals or anything that has to do with Porsche racing etc etc for a new trailer. The trailer is black. Any leads to places that might be of assistance? thanks in advance

Yep, be sure to let people know that there is an expensive sportscar hidden in your trailer. May give then a reason to cut your lock and tow it away.

Perhaps you would be better off getting a hazardous waste sticker instead!

I was thinking the same thing. How about putting a "Ford Pinto Club" sticker on it. No one would touch it...

In some States, if you get too specific like XYZ Porsche Racing, etc., they can force you to obtain commercial plates, as it is viewed as advertising.

I like to go stealth as well. My boys wanted some P car stuff and all I put on the back was a SCCA club racing sticker...

Where can you buy the HazMat or Medical Waste stickers?

Thanks AndyT!

The trailer sits in my driveway and the car always sits in a garage. when I am transporting I am always near the trailer or the trailer is at the track. I am not worried about it being broken in to, however, I do understand the concern. I will check the PCA website for the large decals and probably have a graphics guy do the rest of the work.

Go with an antiques motif. That seems like a pretty clean cut crowd.

John,
Do a goole search for the stickers (hazmat ect) I slapped 4 of them on my trailer
"Danger, chemical storage" and topped that off with biohazhard tags on all my locks.

I live and store my trailer in a urban area so the less profile the better. I could never put a racing sticker as it would be open invitation to break in.

One note, I cover the stickers up while towing,(duct tape and printing paper) as no need to get pulled over by the troopers and have to explain anything.

I have to agree 100%....it would look really nice to do the trailer all up like a pro race team...BUT...you will be inviting theft unless you store your trailer in a building and inside a track like a pro reace team.

I toured and played in bands for many years and there is a major reason we and a lot of other touring acts did not put instrument manufactures logos on the trailers...THEFT!

The DOT can give you a hefty fine for putting hazard labels on something that’s not hazardous.
