also a more specific title instead of "Help me" will usually get more attention to your thread.

Here's some more tips in the Newbie/FAQ for posting:

It's a big clear sticker... You'll need some paint safe solvent such as Goo-Gone or maybe acetone to get it off faster.
Test the solvent on a small area first.

Also a heat gun will help soften it up.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!
