Anyone removed sticker from W8 lid?

I just received my W8 today, about 20 minutes ago. I got mine from eBay. Since I was not a member here until after I ordered it, I did not get the really great price of $379, but I am quite happy with my $575 price. Anyway, (now that I started my own post OT) back to my question.



Has anyone removed the silver sticker from their W8. Did it come off well, or pull paint off? Is the Panasonic logo still there, or does the sticker pull the logo off? Did you use anything special to remove the sticker?

SiliconTi said BTW: the sticker over the Panasonic logo peels right off.

After I peeled mine off a federal agent came by and confiscated the W8. You might want to reconsider.

Was he a member of the FMPTP (Federal Mattress and Pillow Tag Police)?

I think he was probably a US Army ToughCop!

Careful here! I'm a former member of the Military Police Corps and I can assure you we usually dealt with more important matters than mattress tags.

IOW; you stopped at the intersection, which was beyond the actual sign, eh?



Most state traffic laws work the same way.

Actually the front edge of the bumper was closer to 3 inches beyond (I didn't have my transit with me at the time). My front wheel was way behind the sign and the front of the car was a good three feet back from the intersection. I should have guessed something was going to go wrong when I pulled up to to the stop sign and the MP kneeled down to "sight" down the stop sign pole. I always figured MPs got extra brownie points for ticketing an officer.



I think I ended up getting the last laugh though, since I was a Public Affairs Officer at the time and was taking a local reporter on a tour. The reporter got a big kick out of it and ended up doing a second story on the sillyness of the military. Ft. Gordon was, at that time, the home of both the MP school and the Signal School. When the Post Commander saw the story that night over dinner, he ordered the MPs to paint lines extending from the stop sign into the lane of traffic so drivers could actually see where they were expected to stop -- and the MPs had to do the painting themselves. The Post Commander was SC and the common wisdom around post was that only the SC soldiers were getting these tickets (We a had different color registration sticker on our cars than those assigned to the MP school.) In order to "avoid tying up traffic" the Commander ordered the MPs to do the painting on weekends.
