Decal removal

I hate to ask it and I feel pretty silly for asking. But how do I remove that darn dealership decal on the back? I've never had this much trouble removing them before. The letters are so tiny on this one. I'm afraid I'm going to scratch up the bumper. Is it ok just to peel it off with my finger nail?

thanks in advance and yes i used the search funcution!

go to target and buy goo be gone its natural citrus oil & wont harm the paint. Just rub some on and let it sit for 10 min the glue and stickers come right off... Good luck

Heat is usually the ticket. Heat lamp or spotlight, but just enough to do the job. Don't over do it or walk away from it. Then clean the remaining residue off with rubbing alcohol or other cleaning agents. But when "experimenting" try a not to use too visual of a spot on the car such as the bottom of the rocker panels. I'm a little surprised as most Vettes don't get them in the first place.
