STi Sticker removal

CharlesC · 06-25-2008, 04:59 AM

Is taking the STi stickers off the doors and front bumper of the car as easy as just peeling them off? I just got a wingless trunk and I'm looking to make it a bit more understated.

yes, but you will need some bug and tar remover to get the filmish sticky stuff off after you peel it. tryt a heatgun too. just make sure to wax it when your done.

A heat gun is not necessary. I peeled mine off without the need for heat at all. A hair dryer will do the job if you find you need heat. Also, if you're careful, you can probably get the stickers off without much if any adhesive remaining on the car.

The bug and tar remover or what-not may not be necessary, but if it is, follow the directions and test it on an innocuous portion of paint first.
