sometimes I want an advance or something different from my OEM, but it has came in very handy... so I can't complain. (except that I've had to have both locks replaced)... but oh well.
Eddie, it is a sticker. I'll probably get it removed next spring when I get the vehicle detailed to clean off the winter crud. I'm not much on doing anything that could damage the paint. I'd like to de-badge the tailgate too, but I don't want to mess it up and wind up having to get it repainted.
Those dealer emblems are easy to remove... the ones on my wife's Escape came off just by simply warming it a bit with a hair dryer, then waxing off the sticky residue.
I was gonna use the old hairdryer trick to remove my dealer sticker, but it peeled right off easily and left no residue at all. Must not have been on there very long before I bought it.
