Very true, it bugs me if it is off a notch.
I probably wouldn't have polished it if I didn't have the illuminated shift **** or a polished titanium shift ****.
Now I am looking at replacing the fan and temp ***** for the climate control with the Shinka polished *****.
The satin silver matches quite well with the stock accents inside the car.

The picture with no label looks very nice. Simple and classy. Just as I expected it would.
I could not vote for No Sticker, because it is not an option.

Wilson unfortunately I don't have the option of adding another option for the poll. I thought about it as well.

A person could make it whatever they wanted now that you mention it.
They could rub all the image off of the sticker after peeling the foil off.
Do some photoshopping (the image doesn't have to be glossy because the top section of the sticker gives the gloss).
Print it
Glue it to the inside of the sticker with a thin layer of clear epoxy or other glue that doesn't cloud over when cured.
Glue it to the indented area of the radio ****

Love my **** but the carbon fiber sticker needs to go. And to put a rotor sticker inside of a rotor ****? Seems redundant. I would love to see a metal **** that looked like an authenic scale replica of a rotar, size, shape and some fine detail. That would be something.

Thanks
Thanks. You're tips on removal saved me a bunch of headaches. I had the **** switched in less than 5 minutes. BTW, using #1 position. Will paint the backknob later (now that it is so easy to remove/replace). Painted is definitely better than the way it comes from Pettit.

Mine is... when I heated and pulled the sticker off the foil did not come with it.
So I rubbed most of the simulated carbon fiber off the sticker from the back and hand brushed some flat black on the area which was now clear after taking the CF image off. The area that says RX8 is clear so I could do the LED on a later date.
For those that have had trouble taking the **** off. The easiest way is to pop the two panels that surround the numbers (above and below).
For the top panel: insert a small flat head screwdriver below the 2 and then below the 5 and pry gently, moving the screwdriver handle up. (Important to be gentle so as not to snap off the clips that hold the numbers in place)
For the top panel that says Push Power and VOL:
Pry from just above the 2 and 5, screwdriver handle going down. (again being gentle to not snap the clips for the numbers).
If you do snap one of the clips, don't give up, a little 5-minute epoxy does wonders if you don't lose the piece that broke off.

in my experience the easiest and perhaps quickest way to remove the ****, with no chance of damage done to the surrounding is as follows.
-cover the rotor portionall the way around with a single piece of masking tape (the thicker the better)
- make sure that the tape adheres all the way around the rotor, and does so well
-then simply pull using the tape as an extended grip surface and it should easily pop out.
