Our decals were replaced under warranty last year after they started peeling.  The replacements started peeling this spring.  I had the dealer take them off for good, unfortunately that was not covered under warranty, even though we bought the extended warranty and it is still in effect.  Angry

Anyway, I thought you would want to see what a 'pod looks like partially naked.  Or looking like a marshmallow...

Mmmmmmmm.

Yeah, my wife is already talking about trying some other sticker to fill the void.  I know someone on here makes them, I have to figure that out.

Yes, I remembered that after posting and have already contacted her and received a reply back.  Not sure what we are going to do yet...

I like the "toasted marshmallow" idea. Strip it all to white then get someone with an airbrush to add just enough golden brown to make King Kong's mouth water.Tongue

I may do this myself at some point.  I think it might be a day project though, even with goo gone and soft scrub.  I was thinking of removing all the decals on the front except for the r-pod word.

I too, had the same issues with mine, however just the front had decals issues.  I removed them myself (they blistered so badly that it wasn't that hard to remove) because it looked so bad with them on there.  Fortuneatly,  my back and side decals are fine for now.  I'm going to leave my front naked for now, unless I runa across some really slick decals that I'd like to put on there.  I'm definately not going to put any OEM decals back on there.

I don't have any pics with the decals removed, but here's what they looked like while blistered.

Wow - a picture really is worth a thousand words.  I read several complaints about peeling decals but didn't imagine it that bad.  I wonder if anyone has had any issues with the 2011 RPods with the new graphics?  So far so good on mine.
