do a search, i'm sure there are lot of usefull info on it.

Some ppl use dental floss and hair dryer. others use heat gun.

Myself, i was at a gas station and my car was sitting in the summer sun, i played with it and it just came off. I never did remove all of the letters, but just relocated the ZX3 so it would be right under the Focus sign.

Dental floss and Heat Gun or Blow Dryer. Take about 10 minutes to do. After just buff it to remove all the excess glue and your good to go.

Honestly, you can read 50k ways of doing this, they're all relatively the same. Some people suggest you heat the letters/glue up first and some don't. If it's a warm day and like said above, your parked in the sun, the letters should comes off no problem. I have used a credit card in the past, and then goo gone cleaned up the remaining glue no problem.

Super easy. Pull them off and use goo-gone to get the glue off.
