Keep it or make it go away

[RossGN]

Can't decide whether or not to keep the 1987 dealer decal?

I'm not a gnx guy but personally on a real gnx I would think that is part of the story of the car. I would probably keep it if it's a low mileage type car. If its a driven car, high mileage, I personally would take it off. But that's just my opinion and since I dont own an X its not even worth $0.02

Hard decision!

Where the hell have you been hiding Ross?

I would probably leave it on there as I agree it adds to the story of the car, especially if the dealer is not around anymore.

Hiding in front of the air conditioner as much as possible, Charlie.

Hiding in front of the air conditioner as much as possible, Charlie.

And here I thought you were a real Texan, Ross.

Dealers name is on my invoice / sticker....not my car. Would have removed that the day I bought it, and frankly, let the dealership know my disappointment for putting it on in the first place. Takes away from that gorgeous GNX badge IMO. With that said...car is diamonds nonetheless.

I would say it comes down to if your a purist or not, and how changed the car really is from stock. If you tell me you have done motor mods and changed a bunch of stuff from stock on the car.....then does the sticker really matter at that point.
But if the car is a bone stocker and you intend it to stay that way then hell yea I would let it ride!!! IMO

Mine is still there. But mines not an x. But its still part of the cars history.

I am certainly partial to them; I remember ones in the 70's being riveted on! But in this case I think it adds to the originality, and it is pretty good proof of an original paint job with just one glance.

I'd leave it on. If anyone ever wanted to remove it a heat gun and 5 minutes of your time would get it off.

 

[RossGN]

OK, it stays. Never thought about the decal being confirmation of original paint. Thanks, guys.

I personally don’t like it but since it’s easy enough to remove I’d leave it.

Not getting paid for advertising by the dealer ?
Not staying on my car.

 

[Boostian]

I agree with the others. Leave it. I strip them from all my cars but it's part of the originality on that.

I'd take a few pictures of it with a tape measure next to it and remove it.

A good graphics shop can always reproduce something like that easily if ever you wanted to put the same thing back on.

If it was me,it would bother me and I'd remove it.

I'd remove it, if the car was reasonably new. Being it's 28 years old, the paint under the sticker would be somewhat "new", and would more than likely be blacker than the rest of the trunk, and you may see the shadow of the sticker.
