I think it looks amazing with out it. I did it right after i got mine, and was very pleased with the results. Watch a few youtube videos on it, and make sure when you pull the letters off you do so by pulling straight up. I pulled one of mine off by one side and it left a mark in the paint. Also, use wd40 instead of goo-gone, it works better and is easier on the paint. I found that after taking my 370 off it left a section looking a little dull. I used meguiars ultimate compound on the area, and it fixe it right up.
