It's been on there since the first owner bought it from the dealer I suppose. I just picked the car up in early April of this year. I was going to try applying some Nu-Finish to the area today to see if it helped any. If not, I worked at a few car washes along the "come-up" haha, and still have friends in the detailing game that I can get in touch with to help me out.

If you wet sand it with 3000 grit paper and buff it ,it will come right out.

Thanks for the tip! I'll see if I can find a local place this week.

It's crazy, I drove from Athens down 316E to 285W to Vinings, Ga, then to Powder Springs, Ga yesterday, then back up I-20 to 285E to 85N all the way to Jefferson, Ga, and down 129 back into Athens. Never saw another 370 on the road anywhere

I did see an STi...next to me for a few seconds, before he was behind me...

Depends on how long they've been on. If the paint has been faded, sanding won't work.
