Since it is metal, and not plastic, Goof off worked great. See Home Depot for pricing.

I peeled my sticker off with my fingernail. Whatever was left was done with goof off. Soak the sticker, and it will come off. That stuff is like magic. I love it.

Give it a shot. Mine took a wopping 15 minutes to get done. I have an 05, do you? Meaning my stickers were fairly new. (8 months)

Hair dryer worked for tire info and then I scuffed the others with steel wool (very carfully) soaked with lighter fluid and scraped with plastic putty knife.
