It's not that difficult. Takes some patience and some elbow grease. Mine would look better if I buffed the spot when I took it off but you can only tell when light shines on it a certain way. Just dont use real harmful chemicals (Acetone, other solvents) or razor blades. And if you use Goo Gone, dont scrub really really hard as it will take a little of the clear off...but you can buff it out to make it look better im sure.

As for the designs...There are a ton out there. You can get the updated 09-12 ones..or the 04-08 ones in your case as well..but I find a neat one on Ebay that was different....hahaha.

You just have to heat up the old ones, peel them off and stick the new ones on

If its a hot day you could just park it in the sunlight and it would come off pretty easy.

Using a hair dryer on high for about 1 minute moving it over the whole sticker so don't keep it in one specific spot long
