i know theres some threads on this already so i hope no one will get mad if i start a new thread.

heres some pics. turtle wax bug & tar remover is what i used. you have to go slow to minimize the glue residue when taking it off. no problems except i have a blister from rubbing on the glue. i wised up and ran over to kragen and got some bug and tar remover. works great. left it on for 5-10 mins and started rubbing away. it doesnt go away without some work but all in all, it was painless and took me all of 45 mins.

update: i took out the pics cuz my server exceeded its bandwith limit. pm me if you want the pics.

Whats it look like with the tape on? I don't have a s2000, so I don't know =/. I'll be in the market for one in a year though.

I've been tempted to do this myself. The only reason I haven't so far is because of the possibility of paint defects under the tape. If I peeled and saw a paint defect, I would be totally pissed! So I just leave it on.
