Then I removed my door handles and got even better gains. The best though, was when I took off the front flag emblem and replaced it with a decal. Nobody even notices that stuff.

My wife's former '08 HHR SS had those & I removed them and threw in the trash . They get in the way when you claybar and wax.

Our 08 Enclave had the chiclets when we bought it. I was able to remove them when we got home by simply twisting them off, since they had not been on very long. They sat in a tray on my workbench until we moved last year. They went in the trash during cleanup. I guess I made a mistake and should have sold them on ebay and gotten rich since they are so rare.

On some of their GT models (I forget exactly which ones) Porsche does away with the front badge and rear name graphics and replaces them with stickers. i.e. on some of their most expensive -but track focused- models.
