I agree that's a nice find on the Silver Surfer PT... I'm not much on the air brush look since it's a daily driver but that's just my opinion. I am thinking maybe a small decal like this though.



Speaking of decals I plan on removing the dealer decal today. I have read the forums on this and some say Goo Gone and some say heat... Will Goo Gone do it by itself or do I need to find a blow dryer?

I removed mine...

Start with the heat from a hairdryer... do not get it overly hot but gradually warm it up. If it is a decal you can gently work a corner up with your figernail and slowly peel back. If it's a metal or plastic logo, you can carefully and slowly work a fishing line or detal floss behind it.

After it was removed, I used the automotive 3M adhesive tar remover to remove any remaining goo...

You might want to wipe the area with a very mild soap or spray detailer when your done. Don't want to leave the dried remover on your paint where it could bake in from the sun...
