It's not that difficult. Just takes a bit of patience.

Items needed: Dental floss, goo-gone, blowdrier, soft cloth.

1. Wait for a hot, sunny day.
2. Blowdry items to be removed (preferrably one piece at a time).
3. Wrap dental floss around edges and ease off badging.
4. Wipe residue off using goo-done and soft cloth.
5. Tint badging red and sell to ricer for 500 bucks.

WD-40 works better then GooGone, but you will need to clean it off really well after and wax the area that you used that WD-40 on.

i dunno if this was smart but i just used dental floss and kinda peeled the rest of the stuff off. i dont think it hurt my paint job or anything. the sticky stuff is like extra sticky silly putty. it took me like 15 mins or less to do.
