No way I actually like the GM badge. The only thing I hate is the that my car is a walking billboard for the dealership. Anyone know how to get rid of that stupid dealership sticker?

If it is just a decal it will come off no problem. You should be able to start the edge with a fingernail and just peel it off, if it has not been on that long. If you can not get it started wave a heat gun ( blow dryer will work in a pinch) and that will help to get it started. You do not have to heat it too much. Goo gone will get rid of any glue residue, however I doubt there will be any.

Good luck

Steve.

P.S. That is one sweet ride, that blue looks

Arrival Blue is available until the fall. Then they start Laser Blue and to me that color is sort of Purplish.

Very nice! I just posted in response to someone's nicely waxed black SS/SC. I'm in hard decision of going the route of black or blue paint when I order.

Make the Dealer remove the decal for nothing or make them pay you for advertising.

That was the first thing to come off my car. I still have to remove the frame plate holder. Too lazy to do it. Thought I would wait.

Don't you have OnStar too. If so where did they mount the antenna?

Looks very nice.

The Onstar and Xm antenna combo is on the back of the roof near the back window.If you look closely you can see it. Although where I had the sunroof open kind of disguises it.

Really...yes that is good to know. I wouldn't mind it at all now. Much better place to have it.

It's a close race, but the SRT-4 has a slight advantage in straight line acceleration.

However, there have been a few guys on here that have ran with or beaten SRT-4s, which is very possible when you factor in driver skill and such

another way to get the sticker off is just start peeling it off, go slowly and keep dabbing it with a cloth soaked in hot water. i'd be leery of using a heat gun on new paint, that might be enough to damage it. goo gone will get the residue off, or you could do what i did and put a little wax on the area. took the glue off neatly, and had the added bonus of adding the little bit of paint protection missed on the initial wax.

I got it off with a little bit of peeling and I used a hair dryer for a second. Worked like a charm, need some goo gone now. Thanks.

WD40 will take the glue off without hurting the paint. Clean it up with Windex after you're done.
