I have always used a hair drier or heat gun to peel stickers and pin striping. Then wipe it with GooGone. On emblems, I've used heat gun, fishing line or kite string, and then wipe it with GooGone. Any paint safe adhesive remover should be fine though.

I've always used a blow dryer and patience, I am going to try this now for a stubborn sticker on my GF's car, thanks!

Sorry for being off topic.

To the OP:
I'm a fan of less is more, but that added decal is subtle and if it's the only one, I don't think it looks bad.

I would take it off if it was my truck. My toolbox is loaded with Banks, Summit, Jegs, Edelbrock, etc, emblems or stickers. That is where I put mine.

I took the EcoBoost and 4x4 stickers off, I like the looks of this. I want to take the F150 emblems off but it will leave two holes in the fender. Any ideas how to best cover the holes? I was thinking plastic plugs with touch up paint.

The badge isn't my style but I don't think it looks bad by any means.

Body shop would be best bet. I'm thinking of the same thing on the 150, and my Ranger. Likely paint the black around the door handles body colour at the same time.

3 holes 2 small for pins and one larger for god know what. I put Limited Badges on mine so the FX4 extension did not show and on my XLT as well. The FX4 is the black one and sorry but the flash enhanced the carbon fiber inserts. I just pulled the badges apart and painted the XLT (red) ones.
