Wow! I imagine you could easily take off the paint with the adhesive.

3M Adhesive remover will take that tape off no problem without risk of removing the paint as well. You can find it in most hardware stores and many auto parts stores.

Sides are only on there with some tape. I took about half an hour each side with a credit card and a can of pb blaster. It was a PITA but so worth it. The trunk and hood emblem will leave holes behind them.

if you dont have a dremel or rubber tool for removing tape. Id suggest rubbing all the foam off with your finger then using an adhesive remover.
