They don't have to come off but they will possibly be altered by the PPF. For example, if you get the satin/matte TRX graphics and you PPF over them, they will become gloss. You will also see a faint outline around the graphics in the ppf from a tiny pocket of air that will surround it.
They need to come off….
They 100% do not have to come off. It just depends on what you want it to look like afterwards. You can PPF over any vinyl to protect it but as I said, it alters the appearance to some degree.
HPO is correct… it comes down to how strong your OCD is. This forum tends towards extreme OCD though
We actually did an install for a member on this forum and went over the vinyl decals. Honestly, it doesn't look bad but it just depends on whether or not you want those matte vinyls to stay matte or not.HPO is correct… it comes down to how strong your OCD is.

If your gonna see it and regret it, remove them first, probably cheaper than having it Re wrapped up if you don’t like the end result.
. . .like the previous post stated, if you look close enough you can see the seam, but it’s not as definitive as you would expect.
I’m not sure about that, they pulled all of mine off and replaced them. I had custom TRX bedside and hood graphics made…they did replace all of my badges with new ones.
They don't HAVE to come off. That's what the pictures above are showing.
Sooo can a kit from Xpel be ordered that has the cutout for the graphics? Some shops are saying it can be done.
They can cut out around graphics, yes, but it might not be a bad idea to just ppf right over top of them either. Any good shop can give you a few options.
What would you recommend to your customers?
