Default Corvette stickers

Does anyone know how much it would cost to have all these stickers taken off? I was told by dealership that they recommend it be taken off by a professional

It's easy to do it yourself. Pull off at a 90 degree angle and clean any residue with an adhesive remover.

A little heat... LITTLE... from a hair dryer can help, too. Instead of adhesive remover, I prefer Goo Gone, or liquid car wax, or even WD40 for assorted residues. If you do not have sufficient finger/thumb-nails to do the initial "lifting" recruit someone who does. I've successfully removed stickers and emblems from every vehicle I've owned for years, except for one antique roadster. . Patience and care are the watchwords. All the best.

My experience suggests that you DO NOT pull them off at a 90 degree angle but at a 180 degree angle. Pulling at a 90 degree angle increases the risk of pulling the paint off the car.

If you don't want to do it yourself, figure a couple hundred for a shop to pull the stickers off, remove the residue, and lightly wax the area.

A little heat and then some 3M Adhesive Remover works wonders if you follow the DIY route.

Someone went crazy with the flair on that stingray 😳

The non factory stuff will probably come off pretty easy with some heat.

This does sound like a pretty accurate estimate for a shop to do the work. Some of those should definitely come off.
