A heat gun? They came off easily on a relatively cool day (60F) with just a blow dryer. No residue at all either. Just start picking at it from one side and pull away slowly like a sticker.

+1. That's all a decal is really, is a vinyl sticker. Just take your time, and don't rip anything. Once you have some heat on it (should be warm to the touch), it should peel off easily. When it starts to get difficult to pull, STOP, and heat the next section.

It should just peel right off. Just take you time, maybe 20 min tops.
