Default taking off tags

how would you take the tags off the back of the car? i know you can just pull them off, but what would be the best way to get the sticky crap off of the paint with no damage? anyone done this? im not saying im actually going to do it...but just wondering...

Putting WD-40 and scraping with a credit card worked extremely well for me.

Don't feel bad. The same **** has happened to so many people. I'm still keeping my GS-R wing because I can't figure out how to cover the holes.

Yeah, I only bought 2 H's thinking that the Acura badge on the left of the car was only stuck on there with adhesive. I didn't think that there would be 2 holes so when I pulled it off and mine broke in half too, to my suprise there was 2 holes behind that too. So I left it off for about a week I think because that same night I removed the badges, I ordered a Honda badge. I was just planning on having the 2 H's, but had to get the badge.

you can always cover up holes with electrical tape circle cut outs + touch up paint. That's how I went Wingless. Also went antennaless by taping the hole from the inside then painting.
