I was wondering how the euro stickers (the second ones that were made, not with real chrome) hold up after rain, car wash, snow etc. I have them but now debating whether or not they will last in my climate which has plenty of rain and snow as well as I love washing my car a lot

I've had no issues with the Euro stickers from Akalius, with rain, car wash etc. No bubbling or any noticeable problems. I say go for them

the euro stickers I bought from AKAlius have held up great! maybe not as much rain as you and definitely no snow where I live in California, but it is really good simple mod.. I get compliments from people saying they didn't realize it is a sticker...
