Choosing the Perfect Windshield Banner Size for Your Vehicle
A windshield banner is one of the easiest ways to add personality, style, and identity to your car — whether you drive a JDM build, a stance car, a tuner, or simply want a clean aesthetic. But the most common question customers ask is:
“What size windshield banner should I order?”
The right size makes your banner look sleek and intentional. The wrong size can make installation harder and create awkward proportions.
This guide breaks down everything you need to know so you can measure correctly and order with confidence.
Why Banner Size Matters
Windshield banners aren’t one-size-fits-all. Every car has a slightly different windshield curve, height, and width. A banner that’s too small won’t cover enough space, while one that's too large will require excessive trimming.
A properly sized banner will:
-
Fit the natural curve of your windshield
-
Reduce trimming
-
Sit proportionately on your car
-
Maintain visibility
-
Look professionally installed
This is why RawDesignCo offers multiple lengths with extra material included — so every customer can trim to a perfect custom fit.

How to Measure Your Windshield (Quick Guide)
Use this simple method to choose your perfect size in 60 seconds.
Step 1: Measure Width
Using a tape measure:
✔️ Measure straight across the top of the windshield
✔️ Do NOT curve the tape — measure in a straight line
✔️ Add +2 inches to your measurement for trimming
Step 2: Decide Height
Most banners fall between 6–10 inches in height.
Shorter (6–7"):
-
Clean aesthetic
-
Minimalist builds
Taller (8–10"):
-
Drift/JDM style
-
Bold text
-
Larger designs
Step 3: Choose Your Banner Size
Pick the size closest to your width measurement.
All Raw Decal banners include extra vinyl, so you’ll always have enough material to trim to perfection.
Common Car Models & Recommended Sizes
| Car Model | Recommended Size |
|---|---|
| Mazda Miata | 58" |
| Subaru BRZ / FRS | 58"–60" |
| Subaru STI | 60" |
