there's that sticky tape under the wing? that kinda sucks cause i was plannin on just takin it off to see how it looked.....

OP, the hairdryer will help but also try WD-40 or rubbing alcohol, thats what i used, but then you gotta make sure to wax it up (the car) again

^^^^^^^^ +1

It's also good to buy some 3m rubbing compound (clearcoat safe!) and use it after you use the goo gone to get the sticky residue off. The reason is because there will be a slight shadow after the tape comes off. However I guess it really depends on what color car you have. On my EB you could clearly see the shodow but the rc took care of it.
