I have my Lancer and on the trunk it says "Lancer" i would like to remove that and the little OZ sticker. I kno they are stick ons but how do you get the adhesive sp* without taking paint/clear coat off?

An AX!

I used a hairdryer, some goo gone adhesive remover and LOTS of time.

I've heard fishing line works well too. Heat it up and run the fishing line behind the badge. Once the badge is off, do it up with some Goo Gone.

Laugh if you want but Mr. Clean Magic Erasers work good for getting the residue off.

You can get away with using a razor blade if you are very careful and then the Mr. Clean magic erasers do work wonders. We use them at the hospital for lots of stuff too.

dude just use wd 40 it takes the stickers and all that right off and you will never even be able to tell they are there.

just spray some on let it sit for a like 30 seconds and scrap it with something soft like a piece of thin plastic or something

^^A heavy guitar pick would work perfect in this case.

Nice. What is the Mitsu logo and the OZ badge still doing there? ;)

i am going to take off the mitsu symbol, move it down. and completely remove the OZ sticker...

I don't think you'll be able to move the symbol. Once you peel them off, they're very hard to get to stick right again, and if you use the special decal glue, I've seen it take paint off before if you ever want to remove it again. Go the the local Stealership and just get a new logo, IIRC they're not more than like $3.
