Asinine Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I've got new VS logos and they are bigger than the ones i had on my 854. Also, they are bright silver, and my car is so dark (black wagon with 20% tints) that i don't want to disrupt that look.My consideration is to put them on the side skirts near the rear wheel, or hell, maybe the fronts, but probbaly the rears.Now, as cool as VS is, i may not want them on my car forever. Is it going to be the worlds biggest pain in the jerk (i acutally typed jerk) to remove them if i ever wanted to do so?Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM850R Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I have a friend who used vinyl all over his '05 Equinox. He has a race team down here in Florida and changes sponsors every so often so he has to be able to take them off. Im sure you know the deal, wash the area then put it on. When you take it off you will want to wash and wax. The only problem I would see you having over a few years (or more) is the paint fading around the logo but that will take some time. Plus I think it would look tight if you had darker paint that said VolvoSpeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattphi Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I used to have Vynal stickers on my accord. The paint was not in very good condition and it came off just fine. Unless you leave them on for years...you will be ok. And as for fading...sideskirts arent in direct sunlight anyways. It will be fine. I think it'll look sick !

Kaotic Kreationz Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Yea vinyl on paint shouldn not be a problem. Just make sure you wash and wax the area where you are applying them. That way when you have to take them of it will be easier. And also when taking them of, a heat gun and some goo gone or other adhesive remover makes the job even easier.

Asinine Posted December 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Thanks boss!! Now, it's a cool -13°C right now. Should i wait for some warmer weather to put these on, or just bust out a hair dryer!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancetheman Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 i just use a razor blade, 1337ness!and add the heat gun if you want em to come off easilyall the ones i've taken off at work are easy except ones that have been on for like 10 years, then you need the heat gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exexpat Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 No razor blades on paint. The paint under the vinyl will end up in better condition than the paint around it, if applied for a long time. Heat gun (or hair dryer) is key to removal, then normally wax is fine to remove adhesive. Factory striping is a little different to remove, i.e. same concept but much more challenging.
