Has anyone figured a way to get rid of those UGLY, FAKE decals on the fenders of the new 2014 models
?? They aren't even applied properly with bubbles and ripples......ick !!

Hi, IF they are vinyl stickers, using a HEAT GUN or hair dryer, to heat & peel is how the pros get the graphic stickers of cars. Afterwards, Denatured Alcohol will get any remaining "icky" glue. Careful, alcohol is very flammable. Have fun!

Be careful with this as most recent RE decals are under a layer of clear coat paint.

I guess the new REM factory must have replaced the human pin strippers with decal robots.
Sad, ...very sad.

I get many compliments on the 'imperfect' hand pinstriping on my 2011 C5. Don't all Enfields have hand done pinstriping?

The B5 and G5 gave hand done pin stripes. The Classic 500/c5 has decals under clear coat. At least for the 2014s I have seen. I think the B5 is still one of the best looking REs made. The G5 isnt available in solid colors with pinstripes anymore. Its only available in the deluxe/chrome version. I also suspect this will be the last model year for the G5.
