Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I don't need opinions on the decal itself, I know it does not belong there.( there were no GT3RS's in the US, maybe even none in 2000) What I'm looking for is how to best remove it (it's over the paint/clearcoat) Maybe a hair dryer as opposed to heat gun? (heat gun may get too hot)
Next, worse case scenario, paint fade leaves a shadow, I guess I'll have to live with that.
Lastly, the wing, I'll take opinions on that, should it stay or go (Mrs kind of likes it) and if you know anything about it, like who made it, I would appreciate that.
TIA, Greg
I would leave it as is, it looks good. If it has been on for a while, removing it may open a can of worms.I would just add a small script to the end saying GT3RS "not".......
.
Hair dryer and plastic trim tool. Several good YouTube videos to show the process. Take your time and they�ll come off clean. If the significant other likes the wing then...
That looks awful, I would take both of them of immediately. I don't think the silver will fade much. Thats more like red or yellow pigment base that would fade. I happen to have the arctic silver decklid parts to remove your spoiler If you pay for shipping you can have them.
This great AMMO NYC video illustrates a few different ways to safely remove decals. The subject car is pretty cool too, Alex Roy�s record breaking Cannonball M5.

I’ve removed LOTS of race car decals.
Normally if it is warm outside, I just pull the car outside and leave it in the sun.
The decals should come off pretty easily.
You can use a heat gun, just keep moving it.
I would keep the spoiler.
I like it!
If you decide to remove it, let me know if you want to sell it.
There's a hint of boy ricer, I mean racer in that wing but, hey, that's just me! If your Mrs likes it, you know what they say, happy wife happy life. The decal, however, definitely needs to go.
I'll toss my opinions onto this limp biscuit.
Wing:
(not my personal thing, but) Looks good. The stock wheels is what is throwing the overall look "off".
Decal:
(script): Doesn't look terrible, but I'm against "fake" badging. I'd personally remove it.
(Maybe you replace it with "Carrera" or "C2/C4"?)
(checker stripe): Not my thing, but doesn't look bad in the muted/non flashy colors. I say keep it. (Only if you keep the wing, too)
Change your wheels!
It's the easiest way and most visually significant alteration someone can make to their car.
2nd this. Leave it outside on a sunny day before starting this job. Decals will get much softer and more pliable, much more chance of peeling off in one piece rather than breaking into 1000 pieces as you pull on it. Have done this with aging clear bra in the past, which is effectively a giant decal.
No offense taken, I've just picked up this car, two weeks ago, and want to remove at minimum, the GT3rs stickers, lowers will stay as will the wing for now. I may, over the summer, pick up all the parts to restore the deck lid, and have them painted to match the Palladium Metallic Gold.

Well I have just learned that the early cars '99-'01 had the badge up high, then the later cars '02-'04 it was lower down. Diagrams in this post....

Since your car is a 2000 I was wrong, it is correct in the upper position.
