Should I or not?

Non Focus discussion. Pretty much other cars and off topic stuff.

ShouldI take off the FOCUS Lettering on the trunk of my car?

Goo Gone or a any adhesive remover. The use some rubbing compound and wax to clean it up a little better. Sorry I had deleted my post from before its kinda like should I or should I not.... :lol:

yes, do it. the lettering on the 08 looks bad. bige spaced out lettters.
use a putty knife with masking tape on it and soap and water, just stick to it
this is the safer way.

Hairdryer, or a heatgun on low....warm it up, then use some dental floss to cut the adhesive, then use goo-gone and some kind of cleaner wax.
