Would also like to know about this. My hood decal has seen better days. I may leave it naked for awhile and see how I like it. Heat gun or take it off on a hot sunny day.

Bit of heat with a hair dryer or heat gun on low(heat gun can damage paint if not careful) and take your time peeling it off, we use plastic blades to help peel vinyl up. then time to remove the left behind glue. Some solvent or goo gone works on the glue. You can also buff if needed, and wax the area to protect it until they put the new one on.

Just use a hair dryer to heat it a bit and start peeling it from the corner. Once you get ahold of enough of it they come off without too much effort. Goo Gone is awesome for removing the adhesive without damaging the paint. Usually after that's all cleaned up you can lightly buff it to clean up the edges where it used to be and prepare the hood for the new one. I removed my old one and installed my new one from Rocky Mountain Graphics.

That's where mine came from, it has a few cracks and peeling in one spot, so that's there I'm going good to attack it..if the sun will come out...it goes Monday morning to get done, so Sunday I'll remove it. They are cleaning and doing all that ,they just said remove it and save 150 bucks...no problem lol

+1, mine's been needing replacement for a while now, thinking sitting in the summer sun is going to make it plenty warm enough.

Congrats on getting the new one.

Yea, definitely remove it yourself for that kind of savings. Removing it is the easy part, installing the new one and getting it lined up correctly is the hard part. lol
