OK Does This Help The Side Mouldings?

Notice how the flames capture and enhance the beautiful orange color of the side marker lights.

Lighten up.

The magnetic flames are a gift from one of my racing buddies and normally reserved for my cars when I am on the racetrack racing or instructing at a HPDE. Like this:



So here's another question: My favorite magnetic bumper sticker won't adhere to the CLS's plastic bumper. Does it look OK on the C-pillar? (Hint for the humor-challenged: it is still 4/1.)

Any type of sticker/magnet on a CLS is not ok.
