i second the heat. use a credit card or driver's license to lift an edge, pull at a perpendicular angle to the surface. use wd-40 to remove the adhesive, wash it off after your done.

mine peeled off pretty good, get this stuff called "Goo Gone" it works really well to get the adhesive off your car with out scratching the paint. that stuff also works with debadging "civic" or "si" ect...

with the sticker ive herd that goo gone and dental floss works too.

best way to do it... the only real pain is the adhesive... i already took off the front grille SI emblem and civic on hatch.... today i took of the rear SI with dental floss and the honda on the hatch too (installing jdm emblem).... it takes quite a while for the adhesive if you don't have wd40 or goo gone.... but it looks clean...

the hair dryer is what i used, but too much heat can hinder your efforts. hotter is not better. use a little bit of heat move and peal i went from right to left. a little heat will help you peel more of the decal and keep it all intact. too much heat will make the decal brittle and rip easily.

goo gone is ok, but goof off is way better. dampen a cloth with the adhesive remover, and hold the cloth on the adhesive residue for a minute or so, it should be easy to wipe off.
