I never liked the shaved look on my previous cars but I am so glad I shaved my trunk long long time ago. In my opinion it makes the back look X10 betta!

Humm I was expecting something more elaborate and complicated. Won't that stuff peal off after so much moisture?

^ That's what is on the lettering to begin with so to answer your question yes it's possible.

How would you get the lettering straight and the spacing accurate?

I just did mine last week. If you don't have any Goo Gone, definately buy some! You need a bottle of that, some dental floss or fishing line, and alot of patience. when removing the adhesive behind the letters, DO NOT EXCESSIVELY USE YOUR FINGERNAILS TO SCRAPE IT OFF!! I can't stress this enough! i learned the hard way, the first 2 letters i took off now have minor scratches in the area where I was trying to peel away the adhesive with my fingernail...use the goo gone, alot of it, and spray multiple applications and wait a few minutes before continuing to peel the adhesive away...like i said, have patience and the goo gone does most of the work for you...

HTH

I used grinder on mine.........Came right off.

I twisted the letters off and then used micro fiber towel to remove the glue
