    Heat, heat and more heat. Mine were removed by the dealer because i told them to :)

    Get a hairdryer or something and they should peel right off.

    Ya, i should have been more specific. Dont like hold it in one spot, u can actually start to melt the body lol. just hold it there for a few seconds and start peeling, its kind of a feel thing.

    Someone on one of the other forums mentioned a product called Goo Gone. http://www.googone.com/
    I dont know much about this product but I am thinking about giving it a try. Im getting bored of the side stripe after a year of owning the car.

    Thanks for the replies. I figured heat would be the answer. I think the goo gone would be for getting the glue off after you get the decal off.

    I didnt use goo gone. Ended up using a hair dryer and the stripes came right off. Glad it was so easy cause I can screw the easiest of things up. Im challenged!!
