Default Stupid question :-D

I have this "SOHC VTECH" sticker/emblem whatever u want to call it on the side of my car ( http://substance.haxorz.org/Carside.jpg ). Thing is, I'm getting a new engine thats DOHC so I'll probably want to take the old one off and get the new one.

1.How do I take it off (without damaging the car ofcourse)
2.Where can I get the new DOHC one?

just peel it up with you finger nail and most of the adhesive will go with it.
dealer, ebay, someone on here.
imo, go naked(no sticker), make 'em wonder what you've got!

You're confusing me - is it VTEC or VTECH?



Seriously though, Goo gone is awesome for removing sticker residue. I use a razor blade and lay it very flat against the paint and pull up the sticker edges - I have never scratched a car yet like this.

if its one of those oem decals, use a hairdryer but dont aim directly at it w/ hella high heat kuz it will mess up the paint, but get it warm enough to peel it off slowly, its not going to all come off at once but ones its done use "3M adhesive/wax remover" u can get it at kragen, it has a blue top.... it works great
