Thanks

yea im just using a hair dryer...like what they said its not as powerful as a heat gun. when i was doing mine it was gettin pretty cold out so i dont think it would have done any damage if i held it on there all day long. it workd really good. what i did too was hold the hair dryer in one hand and use ur other hand to peel the sticker off. while doing so, aim the hair dryer at the sticker when ur peeling it off cause it keeps it nice and warm and it heats up the glue so most of it comes off once u peel the sticker off. once i got the stickers off i just used some rubbing alcohol and a cloth and wiped the gooey stuff off. hopefully that helped!
now i have a question...there is a big sticker that runs along the tunnel on my sled right below the seat. it is one piece and runs the whole length of the tunnel. i started taking that off too, but its taking me FOREVER!! i was wondering if anyone knows of any other tips i could use to get this thing off. oh..also this is just bare aluminum not plastic...i believe this is why its giving me a hard time. idk...as of right now its just gonna take me hours to get this one stupid sticker off...hopefully u guys have some tips!
the end result is soooo worth it
