Hedges said:I've done this, peeled it off and than the remaining glue i used WD40 since it was only thing in my trunk!, worked fine soaked it used my fingernails or a cloth and just wiped it like a maniac until it came off!
lmao WD-40 ahahahaha! Priceless!
I would suggest doing it on a hot day, use a little 3M adhesive remover, start it off with some dental floss and then pull slowly. I barely had any extra adhesive to get of because it all came off when I pulled on them slowly. Clean and wax her up and BAM! sexyness

I just did this yesterday and it came out looking great!! (wink) took awhile though
Used the 3M adhesive remover with a plastic scraper and worked at it. After claying the residue off, just waxed it and it looks great!
Will get a pic up soon! (wow)

I just did mines right now.
Dude, i dont get how you guys took 4 hours or 2 hours. I just cant get it. I took a heat gun and heated up the edge, and once i got that part to peel, i started to pull out semi slowly and it pulled right off, after that i took some goof-off and rubbed lightly against the residue left by the double stick tape. then washed it off. I waxed lightly with carnuba wax, and was done in no more than 10 minutes, and it looks great...
and goof off dont do jack to the paint. Works great just dont apply to much, dont rub too hard, and make sure you wash it off with some kind of cleaner or water (in my case quick and bright).

well i was shaving my molding today got syked about it and then i got the lx sticker and first molding off, that would be right under the sticker, then i noticed that some adhesive just wasnt coming off, and i kept trying to get it off with my thumb, then i finally came off with some paint come to find out it was overspray that i was struggling with, when i had my wreck i guess the body shop was flinging the spray gun everywhere. hmmm so i stopped on that, when i get my front lip, side skirts, rear lipp, antenna shaved and possibly wing, ill get it all done at that time at a diff body shop, mmm fresh paint. anyways thats my story
eh lol i already put everything up, anyways, at this point id rather have some one do it when its getting its kit on, besides the place under the lx sticker is warped **** if i know how, but it is, and im the kind of person it will bug the hell out of me til its perfect
