to take it off you just need a hot day or a blowdryer and go easily pulling it off.

get the glue underneath off, and if your paint hasnt faded or resprayed then everything should match up fine.

if your cars been wrecked or the paint faded then it might not match the paint everywhere else.

The hardest part is getting all the glue residue off. Try using goo-gone or some other dissolvent to help with that

Oh, and it looks much better without it.

here is how mine turned out. I removed the moldings, and the trans am lettering. Then applied the trans am straight to the door.

I took mine off and can't seem to get the outline off of the car. I've tried Goo Gone and another sticker remove substance. Any ideas on what to try next?
