I'm thinking of taking it out for a cleaner look.

Also, will a heatgun or hair dryer work on the decal? I think this part of the car isn't metal, so I dunno if that trick is fine on composite (or whatever the rear fender is made of).

FX4 sticker came off with no issue. Try a corner and pull. On cold weather, maybe heat up with heat gun.

Oh, haven't posted my actual truck, sorry about that. New owner from the Philippines, just brought it home from the dealer last Saturday. Good to be here :)

Dino, with a little heat from a hair dryer it will come right off. If there is any adhesive left behind you can use some WD40, or Goo Gone to clean it up. If you use either go back, and put some wax on the area. Beautiful Raptor.

Amazingly, the absolute best thing I have ever used for removing glue residue is PB Blaster.

I thought it was a joke when someone told me to try it, but just wow.

Never tried the Goo Gone but it blows WD40 away.

Goof off is better than anything listed so far. Takes off tar spots, pine pitch and adhesives. Been using it for decades for just this. A little goes a very long way!

I wish we were plagued with such unsightly beasts here in the US. :)
Wonder if a shipping container and a VIN from a totaled US Ranger of the same color would solve that problem?
