i know cause i went though this,... get a hair dryer hold it on there, and with a little work it will come off, you can use a heat gun, but be very very very very carefull cause it could hurt the paint

Get a hair dryer and warm up the sticker and then using something soft like a popcycle stick or a piece of plastic, or very carefully, your fingernail, start an edge peeling and it comes right off. Use WD40 or GooBGone or Plexus or any polish to get the remaining glue residue off. Haven't looked closely at the 07s so make sure its above the clear coat.

I didn't like the Goo-B-Gone stuff.

First, patience. Go slow and take your time.

Use a hairdryer (it's too easy to fry your paint with a heatgun). Get the sticker fairly warm, and then with your fingernail, just pick off a corner, and then gently pull. There should be little residue (if any).

If there is, I used the Honda cleaner (great stuff if you can get it!) to remove it.

Taking the stickers off of the metal is MUCH easier than the plastics...

Good luck.

My plastic stickers pulled right off.....I even stuck them on a cabinet. My tank one is what came off in pieces and needed to get the residue off, which I used goo-b-gone and it worked quickly.

Here she is, with my other toy. First Mods will be powder coating the mid pipes and getting CF cans. To complete the ALL black look.

Goo Gone, GooBGone, Goof Off...there's a bunch out there and some can be damn harsh.

I have a can of GOOF OFF that does an awesome job at removing old dried up latex paint from wood trim. Tried it once to remove magic marker from a plastic computer case...it took the marker off along with leaving a huge crater in the case as it turned the plastic to mush. Don't know what it'll do to the clear coat but I guarantee it'll fug up the plastic inner panels that also have stickers.

I always use a hair dryer and WD40 followed by wax.
