RE: Taking Lettering Off Trunk??
NNOOOO Razor blades!!
Get yourself a heatgun (or a decent Hairdryer), a pair of mechanic gloves(or similar), and some goo-gone or bug and tar remover(bug and tar works great, almost no rubbing at all)
Heat up those decals and get em good and hot they will peal right off, the gloves are so you don't burn your fingers, peel slow and work your way up the letters as you peel them off as to not break them.
If thier is any residue left use the bug&tar remover to take it off.
When you're done, you should wash your car (or at least the trunk) with some dishwashing liquid to remove the wax, and re-apply a good coat of wax.

I actually did it just a few days ago... and I guess it was still hot enough out i just peeled it off w/ my finger nail and it barely left any glue. Whatever glue was left I just picked it right off.
Now ... I still have to wax the car to remove any trace of the lettering and I suggest doing the same
