heat gun, or if you cant get hold of one try a hair dryer
Is it vinyl or is it the hard plastic "H" (Honda) type of decal? If it's vinyl you can use a heat gun to heat it up a little bit then pull it off with you fingers. Then clean up the sticky stuff that's left with so goop remover, or I use WD40 and a really soft 100% cotton cloth. If you don't have a heatgun it will just take a little longer. 3M makes a chemical remover but I think it's abour $15 USD + S&H. Let me know and I can get some out to you if you want.

check this info out should help a bit, maybe! :p
thanks for that guys, the heat gun worked a treat.
to get the stickyness off (if any) try using eucalyptus (spelling?) oil..
works good
if i had a breeze with a 1.8 id keep the breeze stickers on it
doesnt it leave marks where the paint is different under the sticker and everywhere else of the car?
If the paint has faded yes or if he scratches it.
u guys are funny eucaliptus oil and wd40 may work but to do it right "WAX AND GREASE REMOVER"(less than $10) but ur right and tipically any solvent will do the trik but eucaliptus oil will damage ur paint if not cleaned off properly
^^ bah. I found that good ol' metho worked fine for getting the rest of the adhesive shit off.
Nah the paint is hardly any different, I can notice a bit, but its because I knew that the Breeze stickers were there, all me mates can't tell the difference.
Oh yeah, [ricer] it's goin to the paint shop after the new engine has been dropped in.
did u keep the sticker?
i want it man..
if he used the hairdryer/heatgun.. The sticker is bound to be destroyed.
I doubt it would come off all in one piece in any circumstance though.
