Instagram handle sticker size

kssxs · 03-24-2025, 11:37 AM

Hey guys,

Silly question but here goes... I've got a 2022 BMW M4 Competition and am creating a new Instagram account for pics, etc. I wanted to get a window sticker with my Insta handle to put on the quarter window (the windows behind the main side windows).

What I was wondering was what size sticker should I buy? I don't have access to the car right now (it's in storage) so can't measure the window myself, and I can't find the dimensions online anywhere. I wanted to get this thing ordered, and the options range from 8" to 12" (the height of the sticker will vary based on number of characters, numbers, etc). My handle is going to be from 6 to 10 characters in length, haven't finalized it yet.

What size of sticker should I be getting? I don't want it to be too small and end up being hard to read from a few feet away, but obviously I don't want it to be too big for the window and spill over the edges.

I posted this on reddit but didn't get any responses, so thought I'd try here.

I'd appreciate the help... thanks!

I don't think you can go too big

In my opinion, the smaller the better if you must have one. I find larger stickers take away from the clean lines of the car, it reminds me of dealerships that stick ad decals or badges on. Anyone who cares enough will get close enough to read the sticker. Just my 2c.

I am assuming that you want your car to be clean and the driving reason to visit your account via the sticker. In which case...

I agree with this. Something subtle would outweigh a giant FIG NEWTON like BlkGS showed. If they really want to go to your account, they'll make it.

Its the trendy thing amongst the youths. When they drive like an asshat in traffic, or park like they own the entire parking lot it makes it easy to find and send them a message telling them to learn to park or tag the local PD on their profile lol.

You want to be MORE identifiable? Smart.

How big should be be? Doesn't matter.
Where should you put it? In the trash.

Do a wrap. Put it on all sides of your car, including the roof.
