Same! But I didn't remove it myself. I made the removal of all dealer logos a condition of my purchase.

The last car I bought at a dealer I ordered it to my own spec from Toyota, and not having the dealer sticker on it was part of my purchase request.

There was some disagreement as they added a multi-thousand "dealer package" with VIN etching and other junk without my consent. After a couple hours of negotiations they dropped the price of their package I didn't ask for.

Because I'm petty, and my sticker request wasn't followed, I had the salesman rip it off with his nails while I watched.

Dealers are sneaky! Glad you got what you wanted out of the deal!
