Default SPORT decal on Lariat Special Edition

Has anyone removed the SPORT decal on a Lariat Special Edition? I finally received my SE yesterday and don't think the decal matches/goes well with the SE decals. I'd Iike to see a photo if someone has removed theirs. I'll likely remove the Ecoboost emblem as well to clean up the look. The SE package otherwise looks great with the Ruby Red.

A heat gun would help to take it off. Just be careful so you don't mess up the paint.

There is a ruby red SE running around my town and with his very dark window tint and what I assume is powder coated black wheels I think it looks pretty sharp with the black decal but to each his own.

Great looking truck btw.

Peels right off. Leave it out in the sun on a warm day (or use a heat gun), get under one corner with a finger nail and peel it back on itself. Clean off any glue residue.

All those stickers will come off on a warm day. You can use a heat gun and keep it a foot away or a hair dryer and 2" away. get your fingernail on an edge and slowly peel away. Then use goo-gone (citrus based solvent dissolver) to remove any excess adhesive. Should look clean and awesome--if you like the clean sticker free look.
Better to remove them early on in ownership as repeated washings, waxings, etc. will create swirl marks and other marks around these "stickers". Think of it as heavy smokers who remove their artwork in a room to be surprised that their walls are brown and the space behind the artwork is white. The EcoBoost little plastic deally can be removed with a good piece of fishing line. Just saw it along between the deally and the fender and it will come right off. use the same goo-goneto remove any excessive adhesive. a warm day helps.

Send pics. I love the color but really dislike stickers. so can't wait to see yours. If it's really that important, PAINT IT ON!

They come off pretty easy. I took my FX4 stickers off in 5 minutes. Just grab a corner and pull slowly. I found out that if you pull too fast, some glue remains on the car (easily comes off with some goo-gone or wax).

Most of the badges now have holes behind them in the body, better do a little research first.
