Is this a cause for concern at all?





My friend got his lancer a couple months ago and he did not have this sticker thing there. and there is rust where my sticker is on his car. Is this really a sticker? It seems since the winter there are tiny tiny white dots on that piece of whatever it is. How do I remove it.

Thanks.

 

maybe thats the protective 3m tape....

 

I had the same thing untill I covered it with the GTS side sills You can still see them a bit but if you go and look at a GTS it also has the same sticker. I find it weird now that you mention it that your friend does not have that sticker.

 

Probably just stones being thrown up by the tires and chipping the paint.

 

If & when you decide to remove the 3M sticker, make sure it's warm - either a warm day, or take a blow dryer to the sticker - then slowly peel from one direction to another. You may also decide to use some floss to smoothly take it off. May or may not want to/need to use Goo-Gone afterwards, if the car surface is a little sticky.

 

i dont think my car has a sticker on that part.... booo lol

 

How would you know? It'd be under your side sills...

 

whats the point of the sticker?

 

Most likely paint protection. Looks like the product 3M makes. It's just there to stop rock chips and such.

 

mine started to peel off in about november. I went to the dealer to get it replaced and apparantly it is still on back order. I can't believe a small piece of sticky plastic can be on back order for 5 months haha

 

maybe its because its midnight here, but I fail to see any sticker lol.

 

Its 3m protector tape...it is only on the ES/DE. The GTS wont have it because of the side skirts.

 

wow bras 33 you are sooo smart!

 

well maybe i dont have a gts LOL dang it. i didn't notice it ddint have a sill...
