what do u mean glue it back on? the paint on the metal trim is rubbing off....there is nothing to glue
and the color under the sticker is the same, but there is a very distinct difference of shine and ummm, "look" than my cars paint.

I took a sticker off last night, and if you get in close you can see where the sticker used to be ~ but from like a foot or more away you cant tell the differance really.
Im thinking about attacking my pin stripe but not really sure about the easiest way to get it off :(
