You might want to try using a hair dryer and hesting them up a bit and then see if they will peel off. Or do the same as shaving your emblems and run a piece of fishing line behind it one its heated up.

Good Luck.

I have one on my car and I know those done pieces just have a sticky side, like a sticker! I have never though about taking it off though because my car is black and it looks good but I don't think I would try just pulling them off. I think maybe a hairdryer or something should do the trick!

Good Luck

does it really help with anything being on the front ??? think it's doing tha job proper??


my car is silver and all the LX-Gs got them on it so when i see one on tha street my car looks like a damn twin (rarely but surely)

i think if i take it off the car would look cleaner??? whats your oppinion on the bug deflectors on SILVER?
take it off or just leave it there and work around that problem???

I really don't like them on any other car but black. With black it just blends in and actually looks pretty good. If you are thinking about getting one on a different colour, I would say pass. (although they do a good job at keeping bugs and stones from hitting the hood and chipping it)
