id be worried about all that heat being bad for the paint. people get their panties in bunches when you talk about removing stickers with a hair dryer so i cant see this being any better

I had to remove mine because it was ruined from off-roading. It started hanging down and was actually getting burnt... hah

But since I removed it I havent noticed any differences

I've been tempted to remove it too.. it couldnt be too bad because i see little turbo'd hondas running around extremely hot and their paint stays fine..
