anyone have any techniques/tips on how to do it? will it mess up my car or leave sticky stuff on the paint???

use a piece of dental floss and ease it in between the decal and the car, and slowly take it off that way. If it was glued on, then it will leave some crap on your car, which you can probably take off with a little alcohol or something. :)

ok ill try that thanks man

I just removed my "Civic" decals this weekend. Get a hairdryer, some goo remover (from Wal-mart), and a rag. Heat up the sticker with the hairdryer, then peel it off with your fingers. Next put some goo remover on the rag and remove the sticky residue. Using the hairdryer here really helps too.
Worked great and took about 5-10 minutes.

Yup hair dryer works wonders. Easier if it's hot out but for the Northeast it's already too cold.

Then use some Bug & Tar remover, wash the area and rewax.

Shit I do this at work all day, we just use a heat gun and heat the sucker up then peel it off. After that we get some acetone and and put it on a rag then rub the sticky shit off. Be careful though if you heat it up to hot you can fuck up the paint.

I was just about to say that. A hair dryer is safer for the novice. Heat guns you need to move around and not keep in one place.

And your fingernail is your best friend.

go down to your car auto parts store and get some 3M vinyl sticker remover. This shit works, make sure the cars not hot spray it on and let it set 5 minutes. remove the sticker with a soft rubber bondo knife. and bam its gone and no scratches, then sell the left over bottle to a friend.
