How do i manage to remove The R sticker on my ITR, i guess from pressure washing it the top of the R on the pass side is missing, im pissed because i know how EXPENSIVE this damn sticker is and now i think my car looks GEY, some one told me to get a heat gun and it should come right off, any one else have any different suggestions for this? and also a good site to get OEM Acura parts because my local dealer is selling them at 68bucks, maybe there is something cheaper out.....

 

I just used a hair dryer to heat them up a little and they peeled right off........

The little bit of glue that was left came off w/ a little goof off and then a little wax......

look here for new stickers...

^^for some reason that site isnt working for me

 

Go to the hardware store and buy a bottle of "Goo-Gone". Rub that around the edges of the sticker and you should be able to get it up. Then peel off.

 

MEK (Methel Ethel Keytone) will take it right off. It will eat right through the sticker. You can get it at Lowes or Home Depot.

 

^without harming the paint?

 

my buddy recently removed his only problem being even after a machine polish you can still easly make out the area they covered.

the paints just 10 years brighter than rest of the car.

 

You'll see where the sticker was regardless because the paint wasn't exposed. A heat gun or hair dryer is safest, heat the section your removing and work your way across and dont hold it on one spot for too long. When you use chemicals on paint there is always a chance the it might react with it and start peeling .

 

^yea thats what iam gonna do, im gonna heat it and start removing it with my license or credit card slowly, im not REMOVING it for good iam replacing with another oem one.. its gonna be a PAIN putting it in tho i know it is!

 

On a side note. I washed my R the other day with my power washer and someone had changed the nozzle and i blasted my sticker off the side. I know i'm retarded. I didn't even think to look cuz no one else should have changed the nozzle. So perfect timing for this thread.

 

^lol, blowssss i know.... i just ordered my sticker today, original price was after taxes 68bucks, but my gf's dad was able to get it after taxes for 50bucks because his bro owns a body shop hes got the right stuff to take off the sticker also!!!

 

Dang thats alot. I got mine from a Acura dealership for 30 bucks. Its oem.

 

Use a razorblade. J/K don't freak out guys!

This happened to me before at the car wash, pissed me off alot as well.

If you know someone at a dealership, alot of them have this clear decal removal solvent (better than goo-gone) that works amazing.

I re-badged my G35 with that stuff. Removed the foam backing from the letters easily.

 

My R started to peel off the back and actually have a new rear decal for the back en route from Son's.

 

^sons acura website hasnt been working for me!!!????
