What did you guys use to remove the decals?

What did you guys use to remove the decals?

Probably a heat gun

just the right amount of heat and a little patience. too much heat and the decals will fall apart as you pull and not enough heat and the decals will tear.

Hypnotoad is right. I got heat gun happy at first and made a mess. A couple quick pass overs on the leading edge to get it started is all you need, then a couple quick passes while your pulling. You can feel it working and see when your leaving glue residue. Too much heat will leave a residue. You have it right when you actually hear kind of a snapping sound as the sticker lets loose. Too warm and you wont hear that.

3M makes a good adhesive remover that cuts the glue and doesnt hurt the finish. It comes in an old school tall square can with a pointy spout. Any place that sells body work supplies should have it. Light rubbing and lots of clean rags and its a 1 hour project. The adhesive remover is highly flammable so be extra careful with it around a heat gun. A heat gun will touch off heavy fumes in a heart beat. Don't need to smoke any dope during removal either. You'll be as stoned as you want from the fumes. lol. Good luck. EW

ps....As long as you have all that crap out and your hands are dirty might as well pull the inside hood foam too. I put back foil heat reflective tape where the foam was. A razor scraper helps in some of the flat areas but it doesnt have to be hood type clean for the foil to cover well.

Hey eric where did you get the vent kit? And noticed you took you headlight out, I would love to do the same any tips?

XXX Mod Rods makes a deadly vent kit (and board cut outs). And I just ordered the headlight vent from Fire & Ice, Inc. Not sure if the headlight vent will help any more. I'm just running a mbrp can and V Force3 reeds on my '10 Assault. Might be overkill, but looks sick as hell. EricW does that headlamp beam produce sufficient light to get anywhere at night?

on your headlight elimination kit you have white outline and i was wondering if you bought it like that or painted it cause i tried to find if they could get me a white one and they never had one so i just got the all black but i would like to paint it and get sone white in there since my vent kit screens are all white.

thanks

yes on mine the headlight in the vent kit is good enough but for riding the mountains at night i just picked up a lead dog and its awesome!!!!
