How many stickers fit on a car — and what does each one pay?

Four spots per car — one circle sticker per door, no hood. Each pays $100/month base, up to $125 with incentives, so a full four-door set runs $400–$500 a month.

Four. A car on Lunar (lunarcar.me) carries up to four circle stickers — one per door, front and rear on both sides, and nothing on the hood, glass, or bumpers. Each filled spot pays its own way: $100 a month base, climbing to $125 with every standard incentive earned. Fill all four on a typical four-door car and the math lands at $400 to $500 a month, each sticker on its own monthly payout cycle. Here's how the spots work, what each one actually pays, and the choices you control.

The four spots, and why doors only

The door panels are the flattest, most visible, least risky real estate on a car — big enough for a readable circle, flexed less than bumpers, and clear of anything a vehicle-equipment rule cares about (windshield, lights, plates). No hood sticker, ever: hoods curve, bake in engine heat, and sit in the driver's own eyeline. Two spots face each sidewalk, which is the point — a parked car advertises to both sides of the street, and a parked car keeps earning.

What one sticker pays, exactly

• Base: $100 per sticker per month — flat, for carrying the sticker and keeping verification current.
• Parking bonus: +5% for overnight visibility (not garaged away from view).
• Condition bonus: +5% for keeping the car's condition verified.
• Mileage bonus: +15% for exceeding the ~600 mile / 900 km monthly reference.
• Ceiling: incentives add rather than compound — all three take one sticker to $125/month. A promo code can stack further during launch offers.

You choose how many spots to fill

One to four, no minimum. Some drivers start with a single door to see how it feels; most add spots once the first payout lands. Each spot is matched independently — different local businesses, never the same brand twice on one car — and each runs its own 3-month phase with its own monthly pay cycle from its own start date. Your picks fill up to two spots with brands you chose; Lunar assigns the rest from paying businesses in your zone, with your monthly veto in reserve. The full pairing logic is in how Lunar matches drivers with local businesses.

The honest per-spot math

Two-door cars and coupes carry two spots — half the inventory, same per-sticker pay. SUVs and trucks with four doors carry the full set (the panels are bigger, but pay is per sticker, not per square inch). And the bonuses apply per sticker across the whole car: drive past the mileage reference and every filled spot earns its +15%, which is why a fully-incentivised four-door hits the $500 end of the range while a garage-kept two-door sits nearer $200. Run your own configuration through the earnings estimator for the number that matches your actual car and driving.

Why not more spots?

Because saturation kills the medium. A car shingled in ads reads as a billboard on wheels — exactly the corporate look Lunar's neighbour-to-neighbour model avoids, and the reason wrap networks and Lunar are different products. Four clean circles on four doors reads as a person backing some local businesses, which is what makes the impression land. It also keeps each advertiser's sticker legible: four brands per car is inventory discipline, not a technical limit.

Filling all four, practically

Stickers arrive by mail as spots match — install on the assigned door, photo to verify, done in minutes. Cycles stagger as spots fill at different times, so a full car sees deposits spread across the month rather than one lump. If a campaign ends or you veto a brand, the spot refills from the pool and its clock restarts. Keep the weekly odometer photo habit and the car reasonably clean, and four doors quietly become a $400–$500 monthly line item for driving you were already doing — no deposit, no fees, and never a reason anyone should ask you for money to participate.
