Area code decals on cars?

Question

I live in Phoenix, AZ and in the past 6 mos I've seen a number of cars with the central Phoenix area code in big numbers on the back window of cars.  It's "602" and sometimes that's combined with a sihouette of a phoenix rising.  Just today I saw a decal of "623."  That's the area code for the west Phoenix area and western suburbs.  Is this popular in other areas too outside of Phoenix?  We have 3 Phoenix metro area codes, but I haven't seen a "480" decal yet (that's the eastern Phoenix metro area code).  I'm just curious if this is a trend other places too.

My area code is 909 and yea, I see a lot of guys with 4 cylinder Tacomas with 12" lifts with the decal on their windows.

I asssume that you are talking about painting it yourself. I would discourage you from doing this. Take it to one of those discount body shops and let them paint it for you. Perhaps you plan to paint over dents, etc. and of course I could understand that if the car is in bad shape. Save your money for a while and have it painted by a professional and have something that you can be proud to drive. You could do a little work on it yourself, like sanding etc. and maybe even knock out a few dents. Just my opinion....Nomadic
