When i purchased my EVO X last year they threw in 3M tape for free. All i wanted them to do was to put it behind the wheels to prevent scratching from rocks and other road debris.

Well they confused my GG evo with another GG evo and 3md the hood, bumper, 8" of the roof, parts of the rear bumper and trunk and of course the foglights. Needless to say I was unhappy, but since I was from out of town and had to work the next day I had to leave unhappy.

Now i was too lazy to remove it myself and now the 3m cleartape has burned itself onto my foglights.

Anyone have any good idea on how to remove this without scratching the lens too much?

BTW, 3m on the first foot or so of the hood was great aside from the visible line. Just past that your can see the white of the primer from all the rocks hitting the hood. Not to mention the plastic NACA duct it peeling like ****.

 

id take it back to the dealer and have them take it off. might be harder for you to do because your not from the town but see if they can schedual or a weekend thing. sorry to hear

 

should just peel off if you can find the edge, use some goo gone to get rid of the residue

 

I just bought some Goo-b-gone yesterday Ill do that. THanks.

 

WD-40 works great on removing sticky residue.

 

er, lubricants will only make the surface slippery.

 

You know WD-40 is more then just a lubricant.. right? http://www.wd40.com/uses-tips/

I had to remove some sticky stuff on my tint recently and worked like a charm!

 

huh. never knew removing adhesives was one of them.

regardless, i'd never use wd-40 on an external part of my car. hard to wash off, and it becomes a dust magnet if you don't clean it off right.

 

Cant peel it off with my nails. I need to scrape it off with something. Cant get fishing line in there either due to the curvature of the lens. Any ideas that wont scratch? I may just buy new lens/covers. Ive taken clearbra off of other parts on other cars. But this stuff is a real pain to get off the foglight.

 

if you take off the front bumper, you can pretty much take apart the entire fog light assembly. that's probably your ticket if you're having a hard time.
