Ok well the goo gone doesn't work and i don't wanna buy a million other products, i don't think WD-40 is good for my paint (or i could be wrong), im scared to take a metal razor to it or a screwdriver (how does that work?). I'll try and look around for a heat gun to borrow, but this sticker is a b****. Maybe i'll just go all out on it, but the area around it isn't that pretty either scratches down to the metal from bike pedals. I'll keep u posted.

I doubt it will work, but WD-40 is safe on the paint. It will just leave an oily residue that has to be cleaned off.

Since you bought it, you can use Goo Gone to get some crusted bugs off of the front of your car, if you have some. I use Goo Gone all the time for all kinds of stuff.

Let us know if the heat gun works.

Don't forget about "Sticker Shock"

Alright got it off! I had to go the ummm unsafe route....yea this might scare you Pb2themax, but i used a wallpaper-scraper and lots of goo gone, i soaked the sticker and gentlly pushed the scraper up and released i did it all the way to the top and cleaned it with more goo gone. My trunk is still ugly cuz of the dam pedals but it's better than it was. Thanks alot guys for the advice, i appreciate it!

Whatever works.

Did it scratch the paint? Any left over residue?

Some polish will take care of that outline if you want to get rid of it.
