thannks everybody. of course i used fish line to remove em, and i used polishing compound with a drill and buffing bit and it removed the 11 year old dirt that was stuck with the old glue, im still stuck on these platinum series logos on the side of the fenders though... i try fish line, i tried peeling it off with my nail.... nothing. UGGHHH haha. anymore bright ideas ?

Have you tried pouring hot water over them and then using a heat gun/hair drier to soften up the glue?
