How do I safely remove shark fin?
 
Since it is not anything close to a turbo, even in its dreams, how do i get the things off without messing up the paint? Thx

They just peel off. I've found that bug/tar remover helps when trying to remove a stuck on decal/graphic.

Depending on the age of the graphic, they may not come off in one piece.

After removal, be sure to clean the area thoroughly and wax.

Heat gun or the missus hair dryer (when she not around) will help soften the glue.

When you do remove it be prepared for the paint to be a far different shade underneath and very noticable. The PO removed them on my last car and I put them back because the difference drove me crazy

Heat gun and goof off or mineral spirits.

You just may have saved my totally compulsive @$$. Since estrus red has no doubt faded the black fins would be replaced by red ones. And how in the he!! Do you make a color fade? You don't. Thanks man for the save!
