I had a spirited discussion with the salesman when I purchased my last daily driver business sedan. They had a line item cost detailed "advertisement fee" for which I turned the table and asked is that was the fee they planned to pay me to drive around advertising for them? I had them credit the fee and remove the sticker...
It was only $75, but it was the principle.

Looks nice...
and I agree, same conversation with salesman, if you pay me advertising, your dealership sticker can stay on, if not, off it comes, at "their" expense, in case they mess up the paint

I've always had the dealer take mine off my vehicles before delivery.
Depends on how long it's been there, I would saturate it with goo-b-gone, taking my time to remove it. There's probably guys who have a better way of removing it who will chime in.

Philcon, not my style, but it is your car. If you like them that is what matters. They do look much better than the chrome one's....
As far as the sticker, heat gun & it should pell off. Be careful not to apply too much heat to the paint.

I agree with everyone that the sticker has got to come off. I'll use a heat gun to remove it.
As far as whether you like the change or not, we all have different ideas as to what looks good on our cars. It's all good............
I like it!

No you are not the only one. Never liked anything that does not serve a practical purpose on a car. But, to each his own.

As for the sticker, I agree with everyone else. Unless the dealer is paying be to advertise hi/her business, no sticker, badge or license plate frame.
When I bought the new Acadia for the wife I was coming home from our monthly Cars and Coffee and stopped in to the dealership just to make sure all was ready for us to come by and sign the paperwork and pick up the car. Salesman saw me pull in and came out o look the Vette over. called a few more out to see. When we returned he said "after looking at the Vette he assumed we did not want a dealers sticker on the back.
