Default Bonnet Decal

I’m on the fence about the black bonnet decal. What are your thoughts. I have a Fuji White 110 ordered. If I have it installed, how easily could it be removed later if I don’t like it.

I liked it initially when building my X but after seeing it in person, it was little bit tacky!

Removing is easy by using a heatgun, I prefer the longer version, see Powerfuluk.co.uk

My family thinks the number part is tacky too. Was hoping I could find something else but so far no luck. Just want a simple decal with no number.

I think it’s the number part it’s what I don’t like too. I wish there was a solid black version.

I wish I had seen the longer version when I was shopping for this, but my main reason was to block the glare reflecting off the bonnet and it certainly does that.

Of course you can accomplish the same effect with matte black vinyl wrap if you don’t want the number.

BTW, I have determined the application was designed for RHD vehicles — the numbers should be on the opposite side for US spec vehicles.

Yeah, I think I’ll just find a vinyl wrap place to cut me one without a number. Definitely could use the anti-glare, but the number is a little dukes of hazard tacky according to my in-house peanut gallery. I would have been fine with it because I always loved that show, or maybe it was just Daisy—I was young.
