You could have requested that they take it off when you got the car. It wont void any warranty, just dont damage the paint by scraping it off... the warranty doesnt cover paint damage.

Like mentioned... blowdryer, patience, and something soft to get it off with (no blades, fingernails, other hard objects)

when ur done peeling that off with blowdrier and such get a can of honda performance detailer from the dealership.. it will take all the gummy stuff off and maintain the paint nicely... get a can either way... i came outside once and my ex spraypainted the side of my car.. it was half dry and i had to get to the airport... that stuff took the already sticky fresh spray off and i never had to do another thing to it and well it still looks brand new..
