Under the hood stickers

Why the heck does the under hood sticker look like some 8 year old kid installed them. I thought it was just a fluke on my L but when I went to clean up my Expedition it's even worse. There are creases and folds in what should be a flat, informative, readable, professional, adhering sticker. Lack of quality control. At least it gives me something to do with the new vehicle.

Same here. Mine has a big crease right down the middle. I'll put a new one on later.

Cool Loose 'em

Took all mine off the day after I drove it home from the dealer

They look tacky as hell....and simply removing them really cleans up the engine compartment.

If you are talking about the emissions stickers, they are available free of charge through Ford. Your Ford dealer must fill out a special card, indicating your VIN, which he submits to Ford. I obtained a replacement sticker for my '97 F150. However, when it arrived, it was folded in half and it was impossible to install it without the "fold" in the middle.

To remove the crease heat it up with a heat gun or blow dryer and flatten the crease with a plastic putty knife or credit card prior to installation. When installing also keep the heat on it while holding one end up and sticking one end down while sliding the credit card across it while slowing letting it down. This will rid air bubbles and the crease.
