take it back to them and tell then to remove it. or give you some money since you are advertising for them.

when my mom bought her accord, she told them to remove any and all dealership stickers or she wont take the car at all.

that car came home the next day sticker free. we let them slide on the liscense frame.

I used a hand held hair dryer -- a little warmth and my sticker just slid off. if you keep your fingers on the paint, you cannot overheat anything

Several years ago, one Ford dealer in So. Cal. stamped their name on the 3rd brake light of their cars. It didn't last long, as I didn't see many of them around.

I say to use the hair dryer method + water (as a lubricant)...then use a lone razor blade. Like the blade replacements for box cutters. Those work very well and don't scratch the paint if you know what you are doing. Of course fingernails are safer...but the blade is much faster a better, and typically if you do this you even get all the goo with it.

I've even tried simply spraying cold water without a hair dryer on the car and using the razor blade and it works just as well. But, on my own car I'd probably heat it up first.

I work at Enterprise so I am doing this to rental cars nearly daily.

when i worked at a dealership a simple heat gun and a fingernail would do the job in a couple of seconds. If you dont have a heat gun a blowdryer will get the same effect. whatever sticky stuff left behind, if any, can be removed with goo gone or something like that.

Take it back to them and have them remove it. They will, I did it with my father's corolla, my mom's murano, and my wife's pilot.
