    9651B3F6-B991-4F7B-AEDC-AA509FE34FF3.jpg Is it possible to remove the hood scoop decal? Is it also possible to remove all these stickers on the bed? Looking to buy one but I don’t want the flashy stickers everywhere.

    Should I get it professionally done? I don’t want to hurt the paint

    many ways to remove those easily and no damage. for chemical-free, i recommend the 3M Eraser Wheel available on Amazon, use it after a hair dryer and hand peeling to take off the residue.

    one thing, that Pro hood black decal does indeed block direct sun reflections for me. can't speak for others.

    I agree I would consider leaving the hood skewp decal the skewp tends to reflect right in your eyes lol.

    I pulled the off-road bed stickers off my truck with just a hair dryer. My truck was 1 week old so the stickers were still soft and came off clean.

    The hood decal is good looking. I’d leave that. The bedside decals look cheesy.

    Heat gun will take the decals off and good off will take off the adhesive residue. Neither will damage the paint.

    I have had a many of vehicles with hood scoops, cowl induction hoods,including my mustang and my Tacoma. They both have scoops and I have never had a reflection, sunlight or anything bother my eyes. This is the only place I have ever heard people complain about the scoops and some bullshit reflections, I mean damn.

    I'm talking about people with the scoop and no stickers.

    I have a Pro and I think with the vinyl on the scoop you just see where the sun hits the vinyl and one could assume "Damn that could be hitting my eyes if it wasn't for this vinyl".

    My Evo had a scoop as well and never had an issue being blinded by it, haha.
