    Hi,
    I'm getting some stickers done for my 911 just like J.Dean's 'Little Bastard' and '130' tomorrow and going on a tour on Friday. Never tried it before but how hard would it to get the stickers out once it stays on for a few days? And what should I do to pull them out?
    It's a brand new car so I don't want to damage anything.
    Thanks in advance.

    If they are just on for a few days, you should be fine. What kind of stickers are they? Vinyl? If there is any adhesive left after you take them off, try WD40 and a terry cloth rag.

    Heat the area up a TAD with a hair dryer and it will come off a lot easier. Any remaining residue will come off w/ WD-40 (as was mentioned) or Goo Gone.

    If you're going to put the stickers on the glass, just use a razor blade. They'll come right off. If you're going to put them on the paint, well, my advice would be not to.

    The stickers will be on the paint, one of each door and the back of the car. And sorry about my out/off thing, must be thinking of something else while I wrote that. Its a 911 4S so wish me luck for a beautiful day in the country... I will try and upload the photos soon.

    I have just received the stickers as well, There aren't made of vinyl but paper. I specified it to be produced so I can pull them off much easier. Although I hadnt had time to trace the exact font used on Dean's car but came close, will post pics tonite.

    I think what they meant were vinyl stickers that don't have have actual adhesive like a paper sticker, but adhere just from the tackiness of the rubber and moisture. Those you can put on and off without damage.

    So the day has come, I've arranged the stickers printed out and ready but just before I leave, I remembered I've left them at the office, so I found no reason to drive an hour to get them back. I was supposed to drive to the lake and stay for a few hours at the lodge but the road towards the village was under total rebuild so I didn't have a chance to drive over new wet asphalt. But I made it to a mountain top and managed to take some photos. Hope you enjoy them, and oops I was being a little naughty in the end too :)

    There are vinyls that are removable that require literally no work when removing yet bond as well as normal vinyl. You wont have to break out elbow grease, WD-40 or razor blades, just peel them off and thats it.

    I did a lot of research when selecting the vinyl for my vinyl cutter for use on cars. I attend a lot of driving events and at each event to get in the spirit of the event, I dress my car up with graphics (see attached).

    I can easily cut the graphics you show above, so let me know if you want help next time around.
