Worth the effort to remove the design or not?

I just bought this car. Its a 86 GXL, everything works, A/C and all. It had the blue design on each side when I bought it, and I wouldn't have picked it myself, but since its hard to find RX-7s around here to begin with, I don't mind the design. Its not on the top of my priority list to have it removed, but my wife hates it. So what to you guys think? Is it worth the effort to remove it or should I just leave it there?

I would remove it. Is it a large decal or is it painted on?

Its a large decal. Its blue, but it might look more black in the picture.

Looks kinda femenine but so does the RX-7, like a sexy woman. So what does your wife have against it?

If I saw that thing I would guess that a girl owned it, but congrats on finding a sweet GXL man! All that matters is that your FC is healthy and treating you right.

You guys are harsh. I don't know what she doesn't like about it. I don't think she knows either, but she doesn't like it. She likes the car, she said she like the 2nd Gen better than the 1st gen, but the first thing she asked me when I got it was if I was going to take the blue stuff off. Ever since then, she has been hinting that she didn't like it. I dont' mind it. I wouldn't have chosen it, but I didn't think it looked like a girl owned the car.....(silently questioning manhood staus)

lol - no offense but your wife has lousy taste with cars..

sure the decal is kinda stupid, but oh well not bad enough to scream out "I HATE IT!"

btw - cars and women are alike.. both better looking without the bra..

i say ditch it. it shouldn't take too long to get it off. as a matter of fact. in the amount of time it took you to make this thread you probably could have removed it already. lol

Are you the one who vote for the Lancer? Thats my neighbors car. I can pass along any offers; he may let it go for the right price.

Yeah, I was putting air in the tires today and I noticed that the front left rim is labeled "RH" for the right side. I was waiting to see how long it would take someone to notice.

all you have to do is heat it up with a hair dryer prefferbly on a sunny warm day. Then get xenit at any autoparts store and it spays away any sticky residue left over then make sure you wax it to protect the exposed paint. Don't wait too long casue the paint ourside the decal will still weather but the paint underneath wont. So you might havea sade darker where the decal used to be.

yeah i like originality..but i think id take it off...maybe check a small spot first...depending on how long thats been on there..might be some paint fading..which would leave that design even after you remove it....but i wouldnt think it should be too bad.....nothing a little buffing wouldnt clean up.
