Sticker, or plastic? Heat, like from a hair dryer, would probably be the easiest way.

When my ex and I bought a new Ford many years ago, he told them NOT to slap a sticker on. But when we got home, there it was. He went back and bellowed, yes bellowed, for them to take it off. Oh yes, they did. My ex is 6'4", and was close to 280 at the time, and looked a lot like Jesse Ventura. They indeed removed the dealer sticker.

the easiest way to remove a dealer logo is with a heat gun....

just be careful you don't use TOO much heat, if you cause the sticker plastic to bubble, you can almost bet you will damage your paint...or even worse your fascia

Thanks for all the suggestions. We were driving the bug on a sunny day last week and stopped for gas. While DH was filling up, I started peeling the letters off by hand. They came off pretty easily, then I just wiped the residue off with water and paper towel. She looks even prettier now!
