I did R8C on my '07 and the stickers easily peeled right off.

My '12 sat on the dealers lot for MONTHS before we found each other, and the stickers did not want to come off, so I got the black version of THESE. They're essentially invisible now.

Remove it - very, very easy to do. Simply get a heat gun or hair dryer and warm it up a bit. From there peal back a corner and while still adding heat pull the whole thing off. Once done there will be some residue left over. Using your heat gun or blow dryer take some "Goop Off" or similar and with a terry cloth towel go after it. It may take a couple of goes, but I promise you it can look as good as if the sticker had never been on there in the first place.

Go for it.

I removed mine and it left no showing effects.

Stiff metal brush with heat and "goo be gone". It take take a couple of 15 minute tries.

Cover ups seem to keep the problem of something showing so close to visual eye alignment.

Removal in my eyes was the only course of action. Now the area is uniformly all black.

I bought a set and used 3M Adhesive Remover to clean the decals before applying the covers; it turns out the decals have tiny perforations that allowed the 3M to soak through and the decals pretty much fell off. I saved them for the next owner...

I'll stick them on with some kind of tape, and take a picture. Costs me nothing except maybe 2 minutes of time.
The new owner will probably remove immediately and discard them. His choice. What if he failed to put the kids in the back seat because the stickers were missing?
