The Ghostbusters Decal by Brandon Bird is an interesting reinvention of traditional window decals. Bird has taken the popular 'Nuclear Family' window decals that decorate a majority of mini-vans and soccer-mom vehicles and instead inserted nerdy ghost fighters. Bird has reworked the politically correct family sticker and included in its place the ghost-battling foursome: The Ghostbusters. In the sticker the members of this nerdy troupe are fully decked out in [high-tech ghost detection gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jurassic-park-goggles).

People on the road will tail you just to get a look at this [awesome automobile accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollsroyce-black-badge-ghost-gamer). Who wouldn't want New York City's finest parapsychologists decorating their ride? If blaring The Ghostbuster's theme song doesn't quite do it for you, pick up these stickers and show them who you'd call.
