heat it (hair dryer), peel it, remove the gunk with a solvent (like lighter fluid or goo gone). I'm sure this topic has come up before though. :dunno:

if you have a garage to park in, let your car sit in the garage for a bit first so the vinyl isn't too cold, and then if you have a hairdryer around the house you can warm up the graphic and peel it off. As long as your car isn't freezing cold you should be ok, but a hairdryer or heat gun works best.

hopefully the decal wasnt on too long or you will notice the paint "fade lines"

well, if it is the decals you bought the car with, they have been on there for quite a while, so be careful when you are removing it...
