Remove dealer sticker?
I've got a metal stick-on dealer sticker on the back in the center of the liftback, right below "CORVETTE". I'd like to take the thing off. I've heard you could gently work fishing line behind the sticker to cut the glue, then use wax to remove the residue. I suppose dental floss might work too.
Anybody tried this? Is there much danger of scratching the paint?

Heat it up with a hair dryer and then gently pull from an end until it pops loose. If you don't want to do it, make the dealer take it off.

I've done this on some of my other cars, works like a charm! (I wouldn't let the dealer put one on my Vette!)
