Should be a hard enough break that you can just peel the pd off the window with out worry.

[MENTION=6618]ScaldedApe[/MENTION] Just notecard it, removing is overkill.

To the guys who have done grills, do you sand/scuff the plastic first? Or just clean it really well?

Also how much different does black PD look with glossifier over it? Some say it makes no difference. But Ive seen pics where it does look different but not in a good way, it looks like it has some orange peel. Is the glossifier worth the hassle?

I just cleaned my grille. PD will stick just fine without having to scuff it up first.

What about door handles? Probably would rub off pretty quickly, right?

I've heard some talk about 1 week and some say it made it several months.

Show us a daytime pic in the sun with brake lights on vs no lights on. That is a ticket waiting to happen. Once you get rear ended, the person that hit you has proof enough that he couldn't see your brake lights. Any cop will look at your tails and shake his head. Safety before looks apply in this situation.
