question regarding the black sticker thats just after the side window

OK so my sticker has a dot in there and you can see that under that black sticker between the side window and back side window its painted well i was thinking it would look really good if its removed? what do you guys think?

I've seen a car or two with it removed. Personally I don't really like the way it looks removed.

I was questioning taking them off when my car was in the body shop, but after seeing one off I changed my mind. It just doesn't look right to me.

Unfortunetly, I didn't get any pics with it off, I didn't even want to look at my car after it was broken into.

from what i know, it simply pulls off with a little heat and then needs to be waxed to buffed to protect the paint

Wow 06CobaltssOrange, that looks really good. I like it a lot.
Plus, it probably adds atleast like 65 HP with all that weight removal!

Anyway, really I think it looks awesome. My question is how was the paint surface condition underneath the stickers? Swirls or anything unfinished or thin paint areas/no clear coat? Just want to cover my bases...

After you peeled it, did you just wash it (and was there a lot/any gummy/sticky material to remove)?

Lastly, after you washed it, did you just wax?
I don't have any electric buffers or anything, so I would probably just peel, clean, wash, then wax (with the liquid ICE that I normally use).
