• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Anyone with the F3-S Special Series remove the frunk and solo trunk decals? I am getting PPF installed and would rather have smooth surface for the film.

I’ve removed decals from about every vehicle I’ve owned. Heat up an area with a hair dryer (not too hot), and start pulling it up. You’ll get a feel for how much heat and pulling is needed. I use Googone for the residue left behind. If there’s a thick bit of adhesive residue, just dab some Googone and let it sit for a few minutes then rub it off. Repeat if needed.
 
Thanks.. i ended up just having the clear bra installer remove them, figured i would not take the chance on messing the paint up... i sometimes lose patience lol

Smart move. I removed the bumper panels for the doors on my truck once using a heat gun. It worked well enough, but left a lot of black adhesive behind. I used a adhesive remover and it seemed to work well enough. For a minute or two. Then a discolored band showed up on both doors. I was devastated. I got lucky though. I took it to Maaco to see what could be done. Their guys were able to use a little magic and buffed out the areas on both doors. Looked good as new. Cherry on top was they didn't charge me. From then on I decided to leave stuff like that to the pros who have the knowledge and equipment to do the job right.

Like the man said, the difference between an armature and a professional is a professional knows when to stop. :gaah:
