If foam tape is holding it on, then hot water from a kettle should do the trick. Just work it slowly.

i'm not sure what adhensive Lexus used for that wing. I'll might try that.. hot water shouldn't damage paint, correct? i was also thinking of blow dryer and fish line, with some goo gone to clean up, would that work also? thanks again!
