We could struggle for eternity to measure the thickness of a tailribbon.
Let's just do a comparison, throw a tailribbon vs a Canadian dime.
The dime is 1.22 mm thick.
This makes a tailribbon car sticker roughly 0.5 millimeters (including it's paper backing)!

Found another car with a blurred license plate!
This time a blue VW Jetta is up for a tailribbons photo shoot op!
Pictures turned out awesome :) In fact, I used these a lot around the site!

Really wanted more shots with that XC90!
Also found a Dodge Caravan I can use for more pictures!
These pictures did not turn out as great, it was too bright outside.

First tailribbons car stickers photo-shoot with a Volvo XC90! Sunny day to get out and take some pictures!
Step 1: find an XC90 to use for the afternoon
Step 2: find a secluded parking lot, pretend to not look suspicious.
Trees, other cars, and even clouds can get in the picture, I didn't really want those in the pictures. Finally found a good spot and setup the tripod about a couple of meters away. Wasn't happy, the pictures were still picking up reflection of the tripod!
Moved the tripod further from the car, changed to a telescopic lens, and pictures were turning out much better!
Shooting this far away though, the picture quality of the small tailribbon was compromised a bit, I think I'll head to another location soon and get some close ups as well.
Camera was sitting on loose gravel, had a hard time keeping it level, but I think it worked out!
Photo-shoot camera: Canon EOS REBEL T3i
