I just got a set of shrouds from a forum member (tks ) to replace my busted and cracked ones. Now I want to remove the old factory graphics and install the Buddy Hopper set I got off of ebay.
Any tips on removing the old, or installing the new? A search gave me some good tips on installing the new ones, but it doesn't look like the old ones are just going to peel off.
The new ones are nice and thick, high quality, and I don't want to mess this up, so any help is appreciated.
TIA,
Bill

I have read that when applying the new decal - you should spray the entire shroud with windex, then apply the decal. This will allow it to slide into place and be adjusted for best fit. The squeegie the entire sticker, to push the excess windex out the sides, and let it dry.

you can use zippo (lighter refill), just pour some of them onto the sticker and let it sock a while and rub off using cloth or peel off as normal.
for installing new decal, you can use mild soapy water and apply or spray some of it on to the decal and this will allow you to slide the decal inline and let it dry out.

Lighter fluid works GREAT!
I prefer to take it another level though
I LIGHT it and BURN them FUGGERS off!
You would not believe how well this works and it is SUPER EASY!!!
