I'm worried that if I start to peel up one letter, instead of the entire sticker coming off in one piece, it begins to tear and shred and make a huge mess. Once I start digging and s****ing I'm commited so I thought I would ask first. I know there will be color differences but I would still rather have just the all-white. Thanks!
I asked the same for my LJ78. I wanted those stickers gone also. The auto detailer on Okinawa didn't want to help me.

I know that this technique works and works well. A regular hair dryer works to, just takes a bit longer.

Plenty of other good ideas have been posted but I can't comment as they are new ideas to me. I know what RonR posted works though.
