Default New Vinyls And Decals

Just installed some decals I got from Brent Franker, real quality stuff. Also ordered some AVS blackout tail light covers from Amazon. I'm loving the new clean look







However, I've seen some people on here were able to remove the "AVS" logo on their covers, how did you guys do this? I tried Rubbing Alcohol and WD-40 but with no success...

I've heard to use gasoline for the avs. pretty sure I used rubbing alcohol with a little elbow grease to get it off of my camaros blackouts.. this was like 7 years ago though, so I dont remember too great.

The decals look good. not a huge fan of the blackout covers on firebirds though, I prefer the look of tint.

What are you using to rub it off, just a regular paper towel?

I can't feel my fingertips, but they're off Guess Microfiber towels did the trick. Here are some better pics with no sun glare...





Still have to wetsand and polish the center tail light, old decal still slightly visible...

For sure paint the bottom valance in black on your rear bumper. Use semi gloss not gloss as it will look to tacky and cheap.Semi gloss will give you the protection and look great! and you can always put a coat of wax on it for a little deeper shine!

thats what Plasti-dip is for, you don't need any experience and if you screw up you can peel it off, also do the side molding delete http://www.fullthrottlev6.com/forums...elete-Write-up it will really clean up the sides of the car.
