Default Dealer Emblem

Looking at picking up a new Crossfire this weekend. The dealer installs emblems with their logo on the back of all their cars. Does anyone know how hard it is to take these off. Will it leave damage to the paint beneath?

Warm it up with a hairdryer. It should peel right off. The only problem may be paint discoloration if it has been on there for a long time.

I have always removed the tacky dealer emblems. Heating it is a good idea, also, grab it with some dental floss to pull and "saw" through the adhesive if necessary.

Ask your dealer to remove it for you when they prep the car. Dealers understand these things and should have no problem taking care of this for you.

I always have the dealer remove their logos or pay me an advertising fee. I've never had a dealer pay me. They always remove their stickers, etc. I won't even use their license plate frames.
