That's 2 for 'leave it' so far...
Is the Jake logo already on your car? Hard to remove a decal. If so I'd leave it.

If you already have it on the car, leave it

It was on the car. Its a new car I purchased in January and I have yet to pick it up.. In my mind, the car was discounted so it doesnt feel like I paid for it. . Just not sure if it looks nice with hit

Any experience with removing it?
While I am not a fan of the logo, if it's already on the car, leave it there.
At the very least get the opinion of a professional.
I don't think they come off as easy as you would think.

Car is still at dealership and when I bought it they agreed to remove it if I wanted. Just not sure if it will need to be buffed after
I'd be sure to ask if they have ever removed one if you want it gone. A specialty decal shop installer might be a good place to ask how hard they are to remove.
How old is the car? If it's brand spanking new it might be easier to remove then if it's been used. Also there may be a colour difference under the decal.
On the other hand, if they take it off and there is a problem, I assume you can put on another one, maybe depicting a Canadian Flag (or a moose).

Show us a photo, so we can see how it looks with the color of your C8? I would say leave it but...

The stripe with 'Jake' is ok, but that red 'Corvette Racing' is a bit much (in my humble opinion).

Have to say, it doesn't do much for the look because it just disappears into the paint. I agree about the red letters. Now I am not too sure what I would do.
I disagree - I think the 'shadow' effect of the carbon flash on the black background is what makes it passable.
If you can separate the red lettering from the larger background, I'd go that route (I think it's two stickers, right?)
The most important thing with all of this is have it end up as you want it to.
Take the opinion of this crowd (myself included) with a grain of salt.
Some will tell you the attached is the only route to go.

Wtf is that?
Remove. I removed R/T stripping off of a new Challenger that sat at a dealership for 14 months, no sign it was every on.
Plus I hate the whole "Jake" thing too lol...
