Default Affixing Oversize Banners and Flags to New GMC Pickup

New truck (GMC 2500HD Denali) should be here soon.

I want to be able to affix the required banners and flags to the truck without permament harm.

Anyone know of or use any pre-made, removable, flag holders for the front bumper?

And how do you all attach the banner on the front?

Thanks

Throw in some duct tape and it is a sure winner!

Is the front bumper steel or aluminum? I'd go with some flat magnetic signs made by a local sign/graphics shop. Any of them should be able to handle it. Same for the tailgate.

Hadn't thought of that, but it's a good idea.

Make sure they say "Overside Load" and not "Wide Load"

Yeah, it's them darn highway nazis!

So far my method has been to blissfully hook up the boat to the truck (which I've been borrowing from my sis-in-law) and tow the damn boat to the ramp and back (11 miles each way) with neither flags nor banners. I'm 'only' 10' 2" so it's not hugely overwide, but still...

So with the new truck on order, I figure maybe there is an easy way to do it right and that won't mar the finish on the truck. Or maybe not!
