    Does anyone know how to remove the trim tag on the drivers door with out messing it up? :hmmm: And if I do mess it up is there anyone that can remake one? I am wanting to have the body soda blasted and do not want the tag to get messed up, so I would like to remove it before hand.

    They are designed to self destruct if you try to remove em.I believe Kevin Marti will repop one with a marti report for you.

    Thank you, it is not going to hurt the wallet as much as I thought it would.

    Just mask over it with duct tape before you have it blasted and it will be fine.

    Yes, like Craig said. I've saved many of them doing just that.

    I also have ordered one from Kevin Marti because the original one was damaged and they are nice reproductions.

    Last I checked, he cannot duplicate Canadian data plates. He will do a Canadian data plate in a US format as long as you sign a paper stating you know its not correct.

    A little off-topic...I just noticed youre a Navy vet, my dad was in the Navy for 20 years, first stationed on the USS Harlan County then stationed at Little Creek NAB, he was a 1st Class PO, worked in the SeaBees division, Ive ran across someone who has known him, so I tend to ask everyone I see now :D

    Jeff S, I have found when it comes to vets, the world is a very small place.

    The decal is precut so when you remove it, the words VOID are left stuck to the car and the words VOID are removed from the decal.
