Stickers may add some horsepower, but they also add drag and added weight. This overcomes the added horsepower and results in a loss of top end and off the line acceleration. For about $495, one can add high performance stickers, which reduce the drag coefficent to less than .029, and results in a savings of 12 grams. Your mileage may vary....

On a serious note, anyone have any good ideas on removing the sticky goo from stickers? I've tried to remove a sticker that was on the windshiled which left the glue backing. Nothing worked. However, if I just rubbed it with my thumb, eventually it would come off and roll up in a wad. Ok for small stickers, but not for large graphics. Took me about an hour or work split over a couple days to remove a 3"x5" sticker off the windshield.

So, any secret formulas??

Windex. Use windex and a lot of rubbing.

Depending on the sticker, it usually helps to apply heat (hair dryer or heat gun). Then use goo gone. Read the label, it can disolve some plastics.

WD-40 works great for that, but it does leave a residue that you will have to clean off if you want ot put a different sticker there or repaint. But I think rubbing alcohol will take the WD-40 off. Haven't tried that yet thout..all I know is that WD-40 takes the glue off with hardly any rubbing.

I second the use of a heat gun followed by goo gone. That stuff flat out works, I used it to remove the glue from last years trail permit on my windshield with no damage. Rated A+.

Goo Gone will work. After you apply it, let it soak in for a while then start rubbing.

Use a hair dryer to get the sticker off... heat it up and then start peeling.

A hair dryer works great to get the sticker to peel off. As for the glue backing, mineral spirits does a wonderful job.

I have taken ALL safety stickers OFF all my cats over the years :D and they look way better!!!! at least on cats it was pretty easy, just get under a corner and lift and go,, they usually peeled right off :p :p :p but i also think it helps when they are warmer, whether buy the sun or a heat gun,, SWRules

use the hair dryer to take the sticker off and then use gasline antifreeze
to get the glue off.Soak a cloth and rub some on to soak into the glue
then keep the cloth wet with the isoprophol and rub the glue off.
Works good just did it this weekend

The hair dryer does wonders for sure.

The other option is to go to an automotive supply shop and buy an decal erasure. It goes in an electric drill and removes any kind of decal quickly, without damaging the paint. Leaves no residue whatsoever.
