Default How easy/hard is it to remove these stickers?

Looking at possibly purchasing this car, but I am not a huge fan of the stripes and wing logo. How difficult is this removal?

No issue. Heat gun or preferably steam. Pull at a 45* angle with the panel instead of at a 90* angle to prevent as much adhesive from being left behind. There's a chance of pulling paint if the panel was repainted but probably less of an issue with a sticker compared to PPF which probably has a strong adhesive.

Super easy. The only headache you might have is if the car was left outside and paint has faded compared to the sticker area but unlikely.

This scares me a bit. Car has only 2300 miles, but you never know where it was kept. Thanks for the info.

really? It wouldn't bother me. GT3 owners don't leave their cars outdoors. That's pretty unlikely.

From what I can tell, that car is a twin to mine! Minus the stripes of course...

Take it too a good PPF shop and it’s a easy job, and have them do a very nice detail or re-PPF

Pick up some Rapid remover made by Rapidtac. The stuff is amazing at safely removing glue residue. Steam is also your friend.

people saying take to shop... hah use a heat gun or your wife's hair dryer and a bit of patients and just peel off. they are not that old so should be easy to remove. if it does leave some sticky which 3m removed with heat usually does not you can pick up a can of liquidperformance RDX.
