Where to Buy Funny Car Magnets (and What to Look For)
Share
The short answer: you can buy funny car magnets from independent shops like LinuaCars (see our collection), on big marketplaces such as Etsy and Amazon, and at local gift or novelty stores. The best place is wherever you can clearly see the size, material, print quality and delivery time before you pay. This guide shows you exactly what to check, so you end up with a magnet that looks sharp and actually stays on your car.
The three places to buy funny car magnets
| Where | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Independent shops (like LinuaCars) | Original designs, clear product details, a real person to email, custom options | Made-to-order items take a few days to produce |
| Marketplaces (Etsy, Amazon) | Huge choice and quick comparison | Quality varies a lot between sellers, so read the size, material and photos closely |
| Local gift and novelty stores | Taking it home today | Small selection, generic jokes, often thin material |
The 7-point checklist before you buy
1. Is the size stated in inches?
A listing that does not tell you the size is a red flag. For a trunk, tailgate or rear door, a long and short shape works best. Our magnets are 10 inches wide by 3 inches tall (25.4 x 7.6 cm). That is about the length of a standard business envelope, wide enough to be read from the car behind you and small enough to fit on a flat part of almost any trunk lid.
2. Is the material named?
Look for words like weatherproof vinyl with a magnetic backing. Vague wording such as "premium material" tells you nothing. Thin printed paper or very thin flexible sheets can curl, fade or lose grip in rain and sun.
3. Are the photos of the real product?
Real product photos show the actual design, the edges and the back. If every picture is a computer mock-up on a perfect car, ask yourself how the magnet looks in real life.
4. Will it stick to your car?
A car magnet only sticks to metal. Plastic bumpers, fiberglass and some aluminum panels will not hold it. Before ordering, hold a fridge magnet on the spot where you want it. If it sticks firmly, a car magnet will work there too. If not, a bumper sticker is the better choice.
5. Is it easy to remove?
One big advantage of magnets over stickers is that they come off. A good magnet leaves no residue, which is why people choose them for leased, rented, shared and work cars.
6. Is the delivery time realistic?
Good sellers tell you how long production and shipping take. At LinuaCars every item is printed to order: production takes 2 to 5 business days and most US orders arrive in 5 to 10 business days. Shipping is free on orders over $35. If a seller promises next-day delivery of a printed item with no explanation, double-check.
7. Can you reach a human?
A shop with a clear contact page and a reply within a day is a good sign. You can email us any time at linuacars@gmail.com.
What do funny car magnets cost?
Prices differ by seller, size and material, so compare the same size and material rather than the headline price. Our ready-made designs are $11.98 each, and a custom car magnet made in our Custom Studio is $13.98. Three ready-made magnets come to $35.94, so a small bundle also gets free shipping.

Frequently asked questions
Are car magnets legal?
In general, yes, as long as they do not cover your license plate, lights or windows. Rules differ by state, so check local regulations if you are unsure.
Do car magnets work on every car?
They work on steel body panels. Some newer cars have aluminum panels or plastic bumpers where a magnet will not stick, so test with a fridge magnet first.
Is a magnet or a sticker better?
Magnets are removable and reusable. Stickers are permanent. Our magnet vs. sticker comparison helps you decide.
Can I get a custom car magnet?
Yes. The Custom Studio lets you add your own text and style, and we print it to order.
Do you ship outside the US?
Yes. See our Shipping & FAQ page for delivery times and customs information.
