Sooo... I'm considering putting stickers on my car, but I'm worried about it. How hard is it to take off a sticker from the original paint job without ruining it?

There a pain if you leave them on for a while but personally, i wouldnt put any stickers on my car except a TCC sticker and it would be on my rear window.

I've had bunch of stickers on my first car. And honestly they are a pain to remove. Its easier if its on a window, don't risk damaging the paint.
All you really need is a tcc sticker and a shocker. [that's right, a shocker. I know what you are thinking, but should still get it]
Whatever you do, just don't get the "jdm" beginner driver sticker lol

Yea keep them on the window.

But I've got SUCH a good idea to put on the side part behind the door. lol where the VTec stickers go. Is it really that bad? Or is it just difficult and I'd have to be really careful if I ever wanted to remove it?

Um depending what sticker. If its some anime character, OR some nintendo game then it'll ruin your paint. Otherwise its not as hard, just can't use heavier chemicals like goo-gone as it may take off some clear. Also won't be able to use a blade but as long as you got some time and nails, you'll get it off.
Also it depends a lot on the type of sticker, and its quality. Tcc stickers, for example, come off very easy and leave virtually no glue behind. Some cheaper quality stickers that are thinner, will rip and will be a hassle. (like the toronto integras sticker lol)

if you use a heat gun to soften the glue the sticker will come of with ease, any left over glue residue can be cleaned with some alcohol wipes.

^ I agree. Used to work at a dealership with writing all over the demo cars. Heat gun helps alot.

jaromer

do it. numerous amounts of stickers = unlimited hp!. use a heat gun to take them off if you have to. If your on a budget or dont have access to a heat gun use a blow dryer peal them off

Or come by my place, I got a heat gun
Hahaha

it sounds like your talking a custom sticker so go vinyl and then it'll come off no problem

Vida

what sticker is it anyway?

PurpleStuff

Why don't you stick it on your bumper? That way, if you decide to remove it one day, you can remove it but if it looks like **** after, just get a new bumber
