If you decide to remove your sticker you can find an all black exact replica on amazon. Or if you want to get creative and have something custom done you can get ahold of moody blue.

You can just peel it, use a heat gun. Use WD40 and a nice microfiber to clean up any residue.

Don't even need a heat gun. I peeled mine by hand but that was in summer.

I know what you mean. So I got them in all black. Check the link.

Be careful or you will scratch the paint if you use anything like razor blades... there are lots of good videos on you tube to give ideas. One I watched suggested don't use anything other than fingernails, heat gun, micro fiber towels, and goo gone auto formula... he would slowly roll all the adhesive to the center and ball it up to remove it. He did a black car with old decals and didn't leave a mark

I used a hair dryer and glass cleaner. A heat gun could be to much.

Peeled it off by hand. Was super easy.

Put all black ones on, looks much better

Here's one I just finished to cover the gap between the frame and bed,like the gap guards used for body lifts. If this has already been done my apologies...over 300 pages,whoa!
I have about 200 lbs of cured rubber from my work @ Goodyear.Same rubber used for inner tubes on heavy trucks or tractors.I cut two strips 31" long x 3.5 wide. Punched four holes in the rubber then drilled four holes one at a time in the lip of the metal sheets where it's welded together. I used plastic push button fasteners and perfecto! No more daylight between frame and bed. This is also cool for covering the ends of bed bracing to hide a spare key.The buttons were about $6,rubber was free but you can get a tube cheap or a used one from a tire store for next to nothing.
