Stick your finger nail under the top right corner, pull slightly downward (towards you), make sure your getting all of it, go to Project-jk and order some JK decals

I peeled mine off last week... You can still see where it said x! The paints different shades. I'm going to try and buff it and a coat of wax though

Hair dryer works great and a simple wipe with some spirits and you will never know it was there!

Add a fresh coat of sealer/wax afterwards of course!

Nothing bothers me more than seeing a heavily modded bad ass Jeep with the ugly stock stickers on the sides.

i waited for a nice warm day, (we get them everyday here in Mexico) then i just peeled one corner and pulled it right off. after words i used some goo-gone and took off what ever glue or residue was left, did the same on all the safety stickers on the inside visors also.

Did the goo-gone seem to work okay on the paint? I was afraid to use it. I would hate to look down at the towel and see "Jeep Green"!

Let the Jeep sit out in the sun until it warms up or you can use a hairdryer. The sticker comes off easily. I used some fingernail polish remover to take off any excess glue. Just rub lightly and it won't hurt the paint at all.

Wd-40 takes the glue off too, doesn't hurt the paint.
