I have one on a translucent airbox that I want to remove. You could have it but I don't know how to remove it without damage to the finish. If someone could give me some tips on doing this it's yours for shipping $

Heat it with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive and pull. You can also use waxed dental floss or fishing line to remove. Slide the string under the edge and work it side to side as it cuts through the glue. Then use goo-gone or similar to remove leftover adhesive from cover. Finish with a little polish or wax.

Thanks Zatco, I knew it could be done just didn't know how difficult. I'll get on it.
