i've had graphics on my last 2 pt's and loved the way they set my car apart from the rest. will the addition of these on my triple black prowler reduce its value even if they are removable ? (it really is beautiful the way it is but i want to add my own personal touch)

In fact after they were applied, we went to a car show and got a trophy for best paint.

Has anyone REMOVED these vinyl graphics after they have been on the car for a while?

I understand that moisture can be trapped under the vinyl and leave a milky appearance in the clearcoat. My clear coat does that just from the top seam meeting the trunk after a few days of rain.

A heat gun will reverse the effect though.

The idea is to make the car to your liking...when you join the group at an event,you'll see for yourself!
Go for it and post some pics!

If the car is in the sun a lot, the paint can fade but underneath the vinyl, where the sun doesn't shine, it can be a little darker.

You should do what you want with your cat. Stock cars will always be worth more, but if you can change it back to stock, so much the better.

Uuuhhh Ed - would that make it ghost paint and fresh flames?
