That wasn't directed at me but just so you know, it's the kind of reply that tees off people. The problem you have mentioned is trivial by most people's standards, compared to say not having a convenient means of commuting to office at all, or doing so in sub-human conditions. My company provides covered, secured parking at a fee despite having an efficient private mass transit system in place and I do appreciate it. Agreed it is a problem for you from an aesthetic point of view or otherwise but please don't expect everyone to be jumping up in support of your cause. |
1. Just so that I understand you clearly, if I see a thread in the ICE section stating that there's hissing noise even on zero volume or mute then following replies are totally ok -
(a) I really think you are making a mountain out of a molehill. Revv the car more, open the windows, or do something that mellows down the hiss. I'm sure this isn't that big a deal.
(b) I think these days people are only looking at finding faults of aftermarket ICE installations. What is the decibel level of this hiss?
2. I'm not "most people", I'm just me. I have this issue and its problematic to me. Simply saying that it isn't a big deal hasn't helped me at all. Honestly, I wasn't asking for views whether this is ok or not. I was looking for a solution stating that this "not a big deal" is a problem for me. You on the other hand said that this shouldn't be a problem, how does that help? However, since this is a public forum people obviously have the right to express their views, which might not be remotely helpful but then, what can I do.
3. While some threads are opened with the intention of seeking public opinion, others are started purely from a solution perspective. However, I've learned that giving opinions about how the problem shouldn't be problematic is acceptable here. It might not add value to the thread but then its an opinion, noted!

That should get them to worry about negative publicity and remove the stickers. |
This looks like another wonderfully thought of alternate, thanks!

True, from RTO point of view, any sticker on glass illegal. In fact hanging any object from rear-view mirror is not recommended, since it is distraction to the driver. |
The sticker is about 1.5 times longer than our LTD sticker and about the same height. However, its pure white in colour and stands out. The sticker is not just one piece however when they paste it different letters get pasted as small stickers, all the more irritating if one has to take it off.

I might not use this but definitely check up whether something like this is feasible, thanks!

I don't want to take them head-on because this was the brainchild of our President (Corp affairs)/COO and I'm sure he has the necessary power to bury me deep.
Second update though: Following one of the suggestions I sent another mail to the Admin head that since my father works for a PSU (which he does and that is in office records also) it might become an issue if he sports a company name sticker while he works for the govt. Had put in all the masala about how the atmosphere is these days / bribery etc. Waiting for a confirmation from him though.
I may not share the company name now but once I'm out of it, will definitely do so.
