Default Bug deflector

I want to take off my bug deflector at the front of my hood. My question is how do I get off the rubber things stuck to the hood? Thanks in advance

A rubber eraser wheel is the best way in my opinion. Wont damage paint and it wont take long sense it is a drill attachment! Try your local auto parts store for one http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00063...dir_mdp_mobile

Or you could do what I did... Take an outlet or light switch cover, some goof off and carefully scrape it off. Work in small lengths and be thorough. After all of that, use your fingernail to get the remaining residue off.

Then, if your paint doesn't quite match use a powerball and meguiars ultimate compound, and work it across your hood, blending the new and old paint.
