No tools, no scratches. Lift the corner with your finger nail and pull. Go slow and be patient.

If its cold out ya might want to hit it with a Heat gun /hair dryer first for a bit to loosen up the adhesive.

I removed the FX4 decals on mine like veronese1 says. They came off clean, no residue at all. I think it will work best if they are warm, 80°+.

Use a hair dryer it's all you need. A heat gun could cause damage if you over do it. I had the dealer take mine off for free when the removed the rail dust.

Heat gun, i agree...These stickers dont leave any real residue; however, if it does use some Goo Gone. Works great. Then apply some wax!!!

Good to hear. Now if the F-150 badges come off so easy I will be happy.

they do, but there are holes behind it. DOnt remove them, unless if you plan on having a bodyshop fill the holes and get it painted. The hole are there to line up the badges. I made the mistake and it cost me $25 for one new F-150 badge......

Thanks for the info... I see the ford logo in back has holes... The F-150 badges do too???? on the fenders and the tailgate?? That really sucks... I was going for the shaved look. Every one knows it is a 150.. I don't need no stinken badge
