Can i just peel off the decal carefully or should i use some type of heat? any how to vids/posts?

Usually one would use some gentle heat. I have used a hair dryer in the past to soften the sticky on the back of car badges, stickers etc first.

Hair dryer is usually what I hear you should use. As opposed to no heat at all, or some type of industrial heat whatever. Gentle heat.

Heat or not, you may have a sticky residue left over. On decals I always used my heat gun (on the lowest setting) and then a product called sticker off or Vinyl off by CrystalTek

Why removing? Installing something more personal?

GooGone is another one.

You can even try using the sticky side of the sticker removed to remove the residue, just have to go at it with a tapping action. At times this has worked for me.

I peeled mine off after I had the car about a month. There was no sticky residue.

I left the car in the sun in the afternoon and then peeled it off in the garage. I just picked at a corner and started peeling. I did not use a hair dryer or heat gun. You will need a little muscle and there is no saving the decal as it will stretch, stick to itself, and likely tear.

After the decal was off, I just waxed the hood like I normally would. I like the look much better without the decal.

I have a black Trailhawk and am considering having my hood sticker removed and have a red one installed to compliment all the red accents already on the Trailhawk.

Is the hood decal on the TH just the black squarish thing on the hood? I was thinking it would be something more special. Anyone now the purpose of it?

Thanks!

Yep. No purpose. Just aesthetics... It's a slightly rough vinyl decal.

Jeep says it's supposedly an "anti-glare" decal - but yeah, probably just for looks in reality. I like it though and preferred it.

If you are left with any residue, don't waste your time with any other product...get yourself some 3M citrus based cleaner - no other brand. I spent weeks trying to get the glue residue left after removing a hood shield but the 3M citrus remover cuts through anything in seconds and doesn't affect paint or lacquer. Good for removing tar spots also...

WD-40 will remove the sticky residue left behind. All you really need is an oil-based liquid, nothing fancy.

It's common in aircraft to paint the area forward of the windshield a low-glare black to reduce reflections but the decal on the Jeep doesn't appear to be wide enough to do much good.

Usually the whole bonnet (hood) is covered, not part of it.

 

[morgancal]

the hood decal blocks sun glare while your 4 wheeling......good luck

The Hood Decal will help with some rock dings.

I have the jetset blue TH and I think it adds character.
