Default any one else have this problem

i just noticed today that its been so hot and humid where im at (north carolina) that on my right farring part of my decal is starting to unpeal. so far its the part that folds over the top and under where you cant see it put im worried it will start to spread down and take off the whole decal. any one else have this happen and know how to fix/stop the process. thanks

also now im considering removing them compleatly so it will be all red in front. does anyone have any pics of what it will look like so i can get a better idea in my head thanks again

As far as the pix of people removing their decals, just use the search feature. There are a few other threads regarding that very topic.

I haven't had any problems with my factory decals peeling in this heat... couple aftermarket ones have however. Only thing I can suggest is to keep it out of direct sunlight. Other than that, I dunno.

I'd like to see some pics. I've had the same problem. I caught it early, and used a little instant adhesive, but thats only a temporary fix.

thats why i think alot of people choose to have a clear coat shot over their decals.

I tried to peel my F4 stickers off when it was almost 100 degrees outside, and they were stuck on there damn good! took me 1/2 hour to do one side......
