I want to remove them on my new neon but i'm apprehensive after reading multiple peoples accounts of bubbled paint underneath after doing so.

what exactly does this bubbled paint look like everyone talks about? I'm curious. I probably will just leave mine on since I don't want to risk it.

Maybe. I removed mine no more than six months ago. I've got a black car, and it came from Tennessee, if that has any bearing on the weather at all. But yeah, the toughest problem was getting all of the adhesive off. Also I've noticed that that paint has faded a little bit on the trunk lid where the DODGE logo was. You can only see it in a certain light with the right weather and at a certain angle, though.
