its there for a reason, BUT... maybe heat gun like ^^^ said, just make sure you dont mess the paint off by burning it. The paint where that was located at might be sticky and really hard to remove...so all i can say is good luck!

Its hard to see on the gloss black, so I just left it on. It isn't bothering me and its protecting the car. However, on my wife's 2011 xB, which is white, it is extremely noticeable and tacky. When the car is dirty, it shows really bad.
