    It's proper flag protocol as defined by military code. There are actually rules about how an American flag is presented and handled.

    Flying in bad weather, at night, if it touches the ground, when it gets tattered, all have regulations.

    It's all about the honor the Old Glory deserves in favor of what it represents and those who died for it.

    This display with the stars forward has come about since the Gulf war, prior to that the stars were always upper left!

    Old style V

    stock-photo-flag-patch-on-american-soldier-staff-sergeant-uniform-102010495.jpg

    New style V

    Look it up, the stars forward is a fairly recent change to the US uniforms!

    How to Display the Flag


    PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION FROM http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html

    [​IMG]
    1. When the flag is displayed over the middle of the street, it should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street.


    [​IMG]
    2. The flag of the United States of America, when it is displayed with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, should be on the right, the flag's own right [that means the viewer's left --Webmaster], and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag.


    [​IMG]
    3. The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day. By "half-staff" is meant lowering the flag to one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the staff. Crepe streamers may be affixed to spear heads or flagstaffs in a parade only by order of the President of the United States.


    [​IMG]
    4. When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the right of the flag of the United States (the viewer's left). When the flag is half-masted, both flags are half-masted, with the US flag at the mid-point and the other flag below.


    [​IMG]
    5. When the flag is suspended over a sidewalk from a rope extending from a house to a pole at the edge of the sidewalk, the flag should be hoisted out, union first, from the building.


    [​IMG]
    6. When the flag of the United States is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window sill, balcony, or front of a building, the union of the flag should be placed at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half-staff.


    [​IMG]
    7. When the flag is used to cover a casket, it should be so placed that the union is at the head and over the left shoulder. The flag should not be lowered into the grave or allowed to touch the ground.


    [​IMG]
    8. When the flag is displayed in a manner other than by being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left. When displayed in a window it should be displayed in the same way, that is with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street. When festoons, rosettes or drapings are desired, bunting of blue, white and red should be used, but never the flag.


    [​IMG]
    9. That the flag, when carried in a procession with another flag, or flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the flag's own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line.


    [​IMG]
    10. The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.


    [​IMG]
    11. When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.


    [​IMG]
    12. When displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium on or off a podium, the flag of the United States of America should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the clergyman's or speaker's right as he faces the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the clergyman or speaker (to the right of the audience).


    [​IMG]
    13. When the flag is displayed on a car, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right fender.


    [​IMG]
    14. When hung in a window where it is viewed from the street, place the union at the head and over the left shoulder.

    You should also Paint/Sharpie the Toyota Logo. I think that would look pretty uniform with the lettering. Just my OCD kicking in though.

    Well I got the last passenger door done today. I'm out driving around and I can tell it's a lot quieter even on a really windy day.

    Yea, I was going to, but up close it looks pretty shitty to be honest. You can really see all the individual strokes from the marker. I'm not sure how else to easily colour the letters in though, while keeping a sharp line around the outside.

    AVH x5700bhs definitely better than stock but the metra install kit is trash. Had to hack it up just to get it to fit the head unit.

    The only way I would think it would cause you a problem is if you mounted the ball on the bottom but I'm pretty sure I've seen guys here with manuals that have them.
