Take it to the dealer and get them to take it off. They probrbly won't charge you, it will take some lot attendant 5 mins.

you need to heat it up w/a blowdryer or a heat gun then it will peel off very easily...then clean the area w/rubbing alcohol to get the area free of the adhesive...

rubbing alcohol won't do anything to the paint right?!?

if dealer doesn't do it for free.. then i'm gonna do that way.. blowdry it.. then peel it.. then rub it with alcohol or something else...

alcohol will not hurt the paint just don't let it sit to long...use your fingernail to get most of the adhesive off that is left over from the decal...then alcohol...

"Goo-Gone" works wonders for removing adhesive. I've used it on my Max & it didn't do anything to my paint either.

Go to Autozone....I bought some stuff about 2 months ago that is perfect for removing stickers from your car. Just ask one of the guys that works there they should be able to help you find it.

and make sure to wax the area to protect your paing ater taking it off. WD-40 is just as good for sticker.

Or go to an autobody store and buy a "pinstripe removal tool"



I got my entire pinstripe removed in 5 minutes with it.

Worked perfectly. No heat gun needed.

no one has brought this up yet, so be careful when using the blow dryer on your car, if you hold it to close for to long of a period of time you can warp the paint. just keep a couple inches away and dont hold it on one specific spot, run it up and down the sticker.

Thanx man... i was gonna try this method... then peel it off with my fingers.. then use somehting to rub the are to get the sticky stuff off... but readin' through this post.. it seems there are many ways.. but none really specific... so i just have to choose one and hope it will not warp my paint or rub my paint...
