I personally wouldn't do it. If you did get some good enough to stick, they would leave a sticky residue that would be almost impossible to get rid of and not to mention the damage they could do.

Not sure how they hold up, but personally (and this is just my opinion, to each their own) I think they kind make it look cheap. Embroidered letter/graphics looks classier to me on the leather, a decal tends to take away from the quality of a leather interior to me. Also, on the hard plastic, you could have a problem since it is molded to have the texture of the leather that is in the car. You might wind up wil lots of micro bubbles underneath the decal from the uneven texture, or if you really press the decal down firmly on the plastic, you get the impression of the texture through it. Either way, I just don't think it would look well in person. Pics tend to look better than the real deal on stuff like that.

Goo Gone could probably tackle that residue
