Use a heat gun, or a hair dryer. That's how I removed my first set. Once they heated up, they peeled right off.

What Gene said should work. Once they are off Rubbing Alcohol does wonders to get the sticky leftovers and is way more user friendly than nail poish remover or simliar. Out of curiousity why do you want to remove them?

I just removed my factory "toyota" emblem, I used my plastic welder "torch" attachment, the thing practically fell right off Just a little polishing compound, and no more trace of any sticker. Of course I did it to install one of those "ugly" TRD stickers, along witha "supercharged" sticker. Hehe, to each his own!

the reason i think there ugly is because mine where losing color had air bubbles , the background was black on a black truck plus you could see the wax around the edge and i could not get that off either. I think these look good on silver 4runners though.

Just curious.
FWIW, I took the stripes off my pickup on a hot day(s) and cleaned up the glue with bug and tar remover. I have dark green/blue paint and there was no fade or color difference. This is on a '95...

Absolutely no difference at all, looks like it was never there.

Goo Gone works wonders too. Not too sure how safe it is on car paint though.

I have only used methods mentioned by Gene and UKMyers, and to date there isn't any sort of visible difference as far as the paint is concerned.
