If so, go back to your dealership & have them remove it for you.

I always instruct the dealership not to apply any type of dealership sticker to my car or they can cancel the deal...I hate advertising for dealerships unless they pay me

Same here. I instruct them it can either come without a logo, or they can remove it. That's why I was glad the only thing they had was a license plate cover. That was trashed within 15 mins of getting off the lot.

Here ya go...The W of "World" has started to come off from the top. All the letters of "Jacksonville, FL." are individuals.

Take ur time. Rushing is the biggest enemy. Do like 3 letters at a time, take a break.

They're just vinyls, so you're lucky; just follow Kenchan's advice.

That's easy. Lightly heat it with a hairdryer and use a razor blade to lift off the corners of decal. Just be sure to keep the blade flat. Go easy or you'll end up cutting the paint. You just want to catch enough of it so you pull the rest off with your fingernails. Vinyl comes off pretty easy once you get it started.

I had one that was an actual emblem on my car when I bought it. Dealership's name was Kelly Nissan, but the emblem just said Kelly with some fancy lettering. I kept getting people asking me if that was my girlfriend's name

Anyways, when I went to the body shop to get my spoiler installed, I asked the guy to remove it for me. He looked at it for a second and then just straight pulled it off. It came of cleanly, no problems whatsoever.

A hairdryer, fingernails and about 10 minutes and all the letters were off. A little Snap-On Polish-1 and the residue was gone with nary a trace of the offending logo...

Thanks for all your suggestions...

I made them remove it before I signed papers.

I would have too, but it was snowing, there was a 150 mile drive home, and my dad was getting tired of waiting.

Dealer had to remove it before I would accept delivery and hand over my check to him. I didn't want to screw up the paint. Also, no dealer advertisement plate or plate frame front or back. Deal breakers for me.

That would be depending on the sticker type.

when working at Thornhill Nissan in Fort Worth. The guy that was training me used fishing line at a wire saw to cut the foam backing and then goo gone to remove the adhesive.
