Question RPO door stickers

I know someone asked about getting duplicate RPO stickers for their door but I want to know if the original can be removed with a heat gun, or anything else, like we used to use to remove factory 'stripes' etc.
An incedent with a deer broke my driver's door and they had to replace it. Obviously, the new door does not have the stickers. I had the shop save my door so the original stickers are in tact.
If I can get them off without ruining them, I can get them dup'd and stuck on.
Any ideas?

I'd say use a heat gun. That should make it easy to peel off.

Thanks, JackZ28.
I just heard that when you do that, they say "VOID" when you peel them off. I emailed Scott, "Firebat" and asked him if he could make some from a digital photo.
Anyone else have a solution?

They will be noticable that they have been removed. ON my Dad's Cadu when the shop pealed the decal to move it to the new door, it had "stripes" in it . . .

Remaking one, can be done, technically illegal . . .

cut the whole panel off your other door with the stickers on it soak them in water overnight and then peel them off carefully

its not hard, take a heat gun and razor pull the decal, than flip it on its face shoot the back with white spray paint, a few coats is cool than ya take spray trim adhesive and spray it liberally and re attach, looks excellent
