#174834 - 26/06/03 11:38 AM Taking off dealers stickers.
stosh Member Registered: 31/12/02 Posts: 370 Loc: Pine Bush NY	The stupid dealership I bought my X from put a stupid sticker on the back of it. They don't pay me to drive around with an ad on my car so I want to take it off. Well that and it's ugly. Any suggestions? _________________________ I pump CAD

stosh Member Registered: 31/12/02 Posts: 370 Loc: Pine Bush NY	Ok thanks guys!! Yeah I think it's pretty stupid for dealerships to do that to cars. Had I thought if it when I was picking my X up I would have said something. But I was all excited and not thinking. _________________________ I pump CAD

XCJ Member Registered: 08/10/02 Posts: 78 Loc: Chandler, AZ	I've had my Xterra for about a year now, and I want to take my free ad off of the back, too. The only thing that I'm worried about is a color difference in the paint. Would that be a problem after a year of no garage and 15000 miles? _________________________ XCJ

XCJ Member Registered: 08/10/02 Posts: 78 Loc: Chandler, AZ	Thanks, I went out with the floss today an got it off. No paint change or anything, and it looks better. For you other supercharged owners: make sure that you dont melt the word "supercharged" if you have a dealer log oright below it. I came close to turning the "g" into an "o", but saved it in time. _________________________ XCJ
