I am pretty sure that this has been discussed before. It should not be removed. If you look at many vehicles you will find these stickers that are designed to protect against abrasion. The areas protected tend to more specifically vulnerable to wind born debris which could simply be sand etc. They are usually transition points that if left uncovered would eventually have the paint damaged. If they to protect against abrasion getting in&out, they would be in very different locations

I offer advise from someone who actually works for Toyota with knowledge within and I get dumped on. Anyone who wants actual facts can PM me from now on as far as I'm concerned I'm out. This is not worth my time to argue online within this thread there is obviously more creditable people. Thx

I was thinking what dafuq is this person takling about? No ones arguing, nor challenging their intellect (on the car)... though due to that post alone maybe we should.

I just removed mine the other day without thinking about it :\ Assumed it was still there from shipping and after getting my car hand waxed it was REALLY noticeable so I just peeled it off, lol.

Are you the same Toyota employee who told a guy on this forum that the TSB for the hpfp only applied to 2012 model FR-S's?

Don't take it personally. Most of us here have come to the conclusion many years ago that your "average" car dealership employee knows next to NOTHING about the vehicles they sell.

The amount of misinformation or just flat out wrong info from dealerships is staggering.

I work at the factory not the dealership.

I've had my old car for 13 years. I regret ever peeling that protective sticker off. That area is now seriously pitted where as the rest of the body looks fine.

I have often wondered about the material specification for these stickers as they seem to stand up, stay clear and do not abraid the same way as 3M film?
