Has anyone removed their hood decals? How? What did you replace with?

Nope. Got the painted ones instead. Just a tad harder to remove.

Did you remove them yourself? If so, any tips or tricks? And how difficult was it?

Yes, I removed them myself. Removal was super easy: park the car in the hot sun, a hot engine also helps, and simply pull up the decals. They came off in one piece for me and only very small amounts of glue were left behind. Use the adhesive remover of your choice (I used wd-40 and rubbing alcohol) where needed.

Following this, I did a full paint correction. So the hood (and the whole car) were buffed and polished.

I can't say I have but it should be as easy as warming it up, getting good hold of a corner and lifting off slowly. I'm going the other direction. I'm working with Anchor Room to design vinyl stripes that mimic the Dark Horse painted stripes. Meeting with them Monday afternoon! Love the pic tho!

That's what I was going to do, too. I was going to get a hood that can clear a strut tower brace now that it's supercharged. It's my understanding I'll probably have to have one modded/fabbed as the stock one can make contact with the blower lid under sudden load due to how low it sits. I also heard adjustable motor mounts and dropping the engine 1/4" could allow the original STB to go back and clear the factory hood?
