Id use a hair dryer to warm it up and slowly pull it off. Once off, use Goo Gone or any other adhesive remover. Finally a little rubbing compound to remove the "Halo" from the stripes.

Heat, plastic razor blades (yes plastic, available at any body shop supply), and a product called sticker shock (prob available at the body shop supply as well)

One of the rare cars that I think it actually looked better with the stripe.
It still looks great though.

Tanner, I am still undecided about it. I will make up my mind this week and if I decide to remove them it will happen this weekend. Most likely if I remove it I might paint them on...who knows. I just can't stand vinyl.

Go for the eraser wheel. Fits on a drill, strips any kind of vinyl off. One of those must have tools.
