Would the Cali bear placement bother you?

Took delivery on Air touring, which I plan to write a full review on delivery experience and car (love it!). So the DA and assistant (two people one on each side) ended up putting in Cali Bear on the sides. And I noticed One side is one inch above the other sticker. Maybe I am OCD ? Idk but I ask the DA for extra sticker so I place it on same alignment as other side. Anyone else be bothered by this??

Yes
 
The bear always faces left, like the one on the CA flag.

I thought they looked tacky when I first saw them in a photo, but liked them in person and had them put on my car. They'll peel right off when it's time.
If that’s the case, I would only place one, on the charge port side. To me, its more Feng Shui to go forward, not backwards.
 
I'd be more bothered by the fact that the one on the passenger side is walking towards the back of the car. Should be a mirror image so both are facing the front of the car
This is true, but it is impossible to see both sides at once.
 
I’m decidedly a no bear guy, but if I did want those stickers and they were not placed in the same spot on both sides, that would likely drive me nuts.

I’d have your PPF person take them off, then next time you go in for service, have them reinstalled properly.

Yep. But even if I didn't know the driver's side bear was facing forward, I wouldn't want one facing rearward 🤷‍♂️ I might actually just have one on the driver's side if I couldn't get one facing forward on the passenger side.
 
Is the bear supposed to be fast? Or is this something further to the forefront of the collective Californian consciousness than I had guessed?
Every sticker adds 5hp

Good thing is on the right side. Looks like that bear is thirsty crouching for water.

Have service guy take it off. You will improve Coefficient Drag 0.00001. The left side look fine. I have mine on Zenith Red, the color is so dark, you bearly can tell it’s there sometimes.

Why would they do that? Unbelievable!!
 
Take 'em off!

Such a clean and beautifully-melded retro/modernist design doesn't benefit by such decals.

And they didn't even bother to make a left and right version, so the bear faces a different way on each side. He seems to be backing up on one right side, which is decidedly weird.
It's not weird. The passenger side walking Westward is deliberate. The California Bear on the California flag is facing to the West.
 
It looks great in white! Is there a proper left and right sticker? My car is in the shop and I’m debating having them put some on my Zenith Red GT. I’m torn.
Don't fret. Get em! 😉😉

Is there more than one color? Some look dark and some look light. I am having it installed on my zenith red and service initially Told me they would try and get the lighter color one and eventually said they think there is only one color and it looks different dependent on lighting.

There's 3 different colors -- white, the dark gray, and the iridescent silverish that I have on my car.
