Something f'ed it up. Does anyone know if any shop can do this? or do I need a new bumper?

It's stuck on... so it should take some heat/possibly adhesive remover and time.... should lift off eventually.

Try useing a hair blow drier.Heat a little bit at a time and try useing a small plastic puddy knife. This might help.Remember this will take time.. :lalala:

I took mine off as I was washing my car. I think the soapy water, and the heat helped. But as every else said take your time removing it.

Sweet thanks! Some idiot threw soda at the car in the apt complex and I drove to work not realizing it. It just baked in the sun one workday and discolored the paint, but *melted* the bumper applique...

It's basically a hemrrhoid on my RS1.
