Usually do not like white on cars but with the tC it looks good due to all glass roof offset. Congrats on car.

Yeah, I had the dealer NOT put on decal. Not sure the best way but you could call the dealer and ask if they have any ideas. Maybe since it is fresh, it will come off easy.

I made the dealer take the sticker off before I drove it off the lot. It made a loud noise when he ripped the sticker off and I thought the paint was messed up for sure. But it was fine. They use some crazy super stick adhesive crap. Real annoying.

the stickers from the dealership came right off. didn't leave a mark or anything. if that does happen to anyone else try to take them off as soon as you can.

easiest way to remove a decal/sticker is with a heat gun or hair dryer on hot. dont hold the gun right on your car though cuz it can damage the paint, wave it over the decal untill it heats up and the glue becomes loose.

Bingo. But use a hair dryer because it doesn't get as hot as a heat gun, so you wont mess up your paint.

congrats and nice color ;o

and yeah, my dealer put the sticker on my car *after* i specifically told him i wouldn't drive it off the lot unless they removed it. thankfully it was one of those rainy florida summer days and it peeled right off because of the rain/heat.
