Beings that I am still in school and dont want my brand new bike taken from me I am planning on taking off all the decals so it doesnt stick out as being a SURLY. They make great bikes not extremely pricey but enough that you wouldnt ever want to have to replace one on a limited budget.
It was quiet a process to remove all the decals. I used a plastic spoon since the decals werent under a clear coat. It took about 3 hours of work! Once all were off I applied FrameSaver to the inside so it wont rust from the inside out.
I had to wait an extra day for the FrameSaver to cure.... But I decided that one more day off the bike wasnt going to kill me. I have been saving up for about 7 months and Ashley had to hear about it the whole time. She is also convinced that she is going to need to get a new hobby since I will always be on my new ride. I have a nice Brooks saddle that I have taken on all of my touring trips. Stepping away to look at the whole picture I decided the stickers needed to come off of the rim as well. 
Transforming my baby into the "Ninja Bike" there arent too many more parts that could be black on it. The guys at CycleWorks coined the name and I think its pretty fitting. When I find some more time and money I want to add accent pieces on in royal blue.... When that happens Ill be sure to post a couple new pics.
