i've seen it done with some elbow grease and a bowl of very hot water. soak a clothin the water, hold it on the sticker, and scrape.

I peeled mine letter by stinkin letter with an exacto knife
and thumbnails. If you are very careful you can do it
without even touching the paint.
Get the vinyl to lift by getting it right at the edge with
the sharp point of the knife and lift the corner. Then
continue lifting and peeling with your fingernails.
Those guys that let the Stealership remove it by saying
"I am not buying with that on there" dont see just how its
removed with harsh chemicals and elbow grease by the wash jocky. [:@]

[align=left]I used 3M adhesive remover. Just sprayed it on the sticker with a towel underneather to catch any run off. After about a minute of allowing it to sit the letters would peel off. Had to spray a couple of times to get the whole sticker off but it removed the adhesive that was left over.

I took mine off the same day i bought it. All i did was get a towel and a screwdriver, used the towel to leverage the screwdriver against without touching the paint and slowly started prying a corner and it popped right off. No paint damage, no left over residue, and took all of 1 minute.

I used a hair dryer. I heated it and gently pulled it off with my fingers. Most of the glue came off with the sticker, and when it cooled, I was able to just rub the rest of the glue, again with my fingers and it sort of balled up and I picked it off.

I just used my thumb nail to get the letters off and then goo-gone to get the sticky stuff off. Worked like a charm.
