Removing LANCER Letters

I want to remove the L.A.N.C.E.R. and ES letters from my trunk. What is the process to so? What tools is needed? Someone told me one way but I want to hear what everyone thinks. Thanks

Heat it up and take it off, followed by an adhesive remover to get all the residue left by the adhesive tape.

HAHA.....best part sounds like the drinking.....that's what I thought. I knew about hair dryer to heat it up then I could just use floss. Can I get goo gone from like home depot or lowes and is that what the brand is called "goo gone" or just the name of the stuff?
